Sicilian Born (Live) - Graeme Connors[00:00:00]

He was Sicilian born a fisherman's son[00:00:19]

Came over in '23[00:00:23]

Worked like a dog for a couple of years[00:00:28]

Then sent for his family[00:00:33]

Well he worked on the docks and he worked on the railways[00:00:35]

He worked 'til his back was gone[00:00:40]

Bought a semi detached in Erskineville[00:00:44]

Moved in and paved the lawn[00:00:48]

His three boys grew and married[00:00:54]

Young blonde and blue eyed girls[00:00:58]

And soon enough there were grandkids coming[00:01:03]

To look in on his world[00:01:07]

And they were fair and blue eyed too[00:01:11]

And to him they all looked the same[00:01:15]

If Sicilian blood flowed through their lives[00:01:19]

You'd only know it by their last name[00:01:23]

And he never talked in his native tongue[00:01:30]

And he never talked about going home[00:01:34]

And he told me once the reason why[00:01:38]

He said home's not where you're born[00:01:42]

Home is where a man's prepared to die[00:01:48]

He outlived his wife Maria she died in '82[00:01:55]

And for a long time after he was lost for what to do[00:02:05]

He'd sit alone at the window and doze the days away[00:02:13]

So I didn't see him much anymore unless he happened to wave[00:02:21]

Still he never talked in his native tongue[00:02:32]

And he never talked about going home[00:02:36]

And he told me once the reason why[00:02:41]

He said home's not where you're born[00:02:45]

Home is where a man's prepared to die[00:02:50]

Well I went up north on a two week spell about a month ago[00:03:15]

And to my surprise when I came home I found his place had sold[00:03:23]

I called the other neighbours to find out where he's gone[00:03:32]

They say he packed up and just went back to wherever he came from[00:03:39]

And he never talked in his native tongue[00:03:51]

And he never talked about going home[00:03:56]

And he told me once the reason why[00:04:00]

He said home's not where you're born[00:04:04]

Home's not where you're born[00:04:09]

Home is where a man's prepared to die[00:04:13]

And he never talked in his native tongue[00:04:21]

And he never talked about going home[00:04:25]

And he told me once the reason why[00:04:30]

He said home's not where you're born[00:04:34]

Home is where a man's prepared to die[00:04:39]
