When I see the water come and clear beside a shore When all the guns are silent and the sky is clear once more When the bugles fill the air with victory's swet song That's when I'll come back home where I belong Then I'll come home again then I'll come home again When I have done my duty in this foreign land When I have fought and done my job for Uncle Sam Then I'll come home again then I'll come home again [ piano ] When I see the flag of freedom flying o'er this land When the people here are free to live their lives again When the Captain tells me the battle has been won Tell all my friends then I'll be coming home Then I'll come home again... Then I'll come home again then I'll come home again
