When The Boys Come Rolling Home |
I always will remember well the day we went away |
Sailing out of Dublin in the morning |
Our hopes were on tomorrow as we kissed the girls farewell |
And our dreams were on the day of our returning |
There’ll be dancin', romancin', and never more we’ll roam |
There’ll be rollin' in the hay, there’ll be whiskey in the tay when the boys |
come rolling home |
We safely reached the other side in New York City fair; |
In spite of wind and rain and stormy weather |
We all sat down and drank a glass, and wished each other well |
And we said that we’d be going back together |
Now Del went up to Boston, and Sam to Buffalo |
And Joe went down as far as Californie; |
I used to get some letters then, but that was long ago; |
And they always spoke of Ireland and returning |
(Chorus followed by instrummental) |
Well, I’m well over eighty now, my grandson’s by my bed; |
And here I’m in Chicago and still scheming; |
He says he’ll take me back again to rest my weary head; |
And I’ll leave him a legacy of dreaming |
(Chorus x2 then instrummental) |
