LAMOINE REUNION.
Another Gathering of Maine Folks in
Massachusetts.

(Tune: "Old Black Joe.")
There is spot which is very hear
to me
Way down in Maine, where the river
meets the sea
One that we love wherever we may
roam
And most of us are glad to call it
Home, Sweet Home"
Chorus
We love it, we love it, no matter
where we roam
And most of us are glad to call it
Home, Sweet Home"
There live the friends we have found
so tried and true
Those we have loved and shall love
our whole life through;
But some there be who have crossed
the oceans foam.
They heard the voice of God, who
called them Home, Sweet
Home
We love them. we love Them wherever
we may roam
And we shall meet them when God
calls us, Home, Sweet Home"
Anna M. Young.
