Words and music by Felix McGlennon.
What are the fashions and follies of life!
Only an empty dream;
Only a burden of struggle and strife.
As we drift adown the stream.

How very soon they cloy,
But there ’mongst your sweet home treasures,
You can find purest joy!
Chorus.—In a snug little home of your own,
A snug little home of your own,
