Family Gathering At Home Lyrics - Kitty Wells

The children that this old house once knew have long been gone away from its view 

But today is the day they've all come home 

For today there's a family gathering at home 

We'll have a big Sunday dinner and sing some old hymns 

And this house will be filled with laughter again 

And these walls will ring out with a joyful tone 

For today there's a family gathering at home 

[ real ] 

This house has been lonesome since the children have gone 

But today it is filled with good happy song 

It's like the old house that once I'd known 

For today there's a family gathering at home 

We'll have a big Sunday dinner...
