The lyrics suggest to listeners that they celebrate because the soldiers are returning home. The chorus is as follows:[4]
All aboard for home sweet home
Again to the girl I left behind
I'll go sailing 'cross the foam again
What a welcome there I'll find
And the day that I return to her
I will make that girl my own
Hello, dear home town, I'm homeward bound
All aboard for home sweet home
The sheet music can be found at Pritzker Military Museum & Library.[5]
