Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFGHI BJKL AA MNAOLPFQRSTUV AAMN| Oh how good it is to be | A |
| Foot loose and heart free | A |
| Just my dog and pipe and I underneath the vast sky | B |
| Trail to try and goal to win white road and cool inn | C |
| Fields to lure a lad afar clear spring and still star | D |
| Lilting feet that never tire green dingle fagot fire | E |
| None to hurry none to hold heather hill and hushed fold | F |
| Nature like a picture book laughing leaf and bright brook | G |
| Every day a jewel bright set serenely in the night | H |
| Every night a holy shrine radiant for a day divine | I |
| - | |
| Weathered cheek and kindly eye let the wanderer go by | B |
| Woman love and wistful heart let the gipsy one depart | J |
| For the farness and the road are his glory and his goad | K |
| Oh the lilt of youth and Spring Eyes laugh and lips sing | L |

| Yea but it is good to be | A |
| Foot loose and heart free | A |

| Yet how good it is to come | M |
| Home at last home home | N |
| On the clover swings the bee overhead's the hale tree | A |
| Sky of turquoise gleams through yonder glints the lake's blue | O |
| In a hammock let's swing weary of wandering | L |
| Tired of wild uncertain lands strange faces faint hands | P |
| Has the wondrous world gone cold Am I growing old old | F |
| Grey and weary let me dream glide on the tranquil stream | Q |
| Oh what joyous days I've had full fervid gay glad | R |
| Yet there comes a subtile change let the stripling rove range | S |
| From sweet roving comes sweet rest after all home's best | T |
| And if there's a little bit of woman love with it | U |
| I will count my life content God blest and well spent | V |
| - | |
| Oh but it is good to be | A |
| Foot loose and heart free | A |
| Yet how good it is to come | M |
| Home at last home home | N |
