Home Boys Home |
| Oh when I was just a young boy, sure I longed to see the world |
| To sail across the sea in ships and see the sails unfurled |
| I went to seek my fortune on the far side of the hill |
| I’ve wandered far and wide and of travel I’ve had my fill |
| Chorus: |
| And it’s home, boys, home, home I’d like to be Home for a while in the old country, |
| Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree |
| Are all growin' greener in the old country. |
| Well I left my love behind me and I sailed across the tide, |
| I said that I’d be back again and take her for my bride. |
| But many years have passed and gone and I’m still far away, |
| I know that she’s a fond true love and waiting for the day. |
| Chorus: |
| Now I’ve learned there’s more to life than to wander and to roam, |
| Happiness and peace of mind can best be found at home. |
| For money can’t buy happiness and money cannot bind, |
| So I’m going back tomorrow to the girl I left behind. |
| Chorus: |
