Back Home In Derry - Galway City Ramblers[00:00:00]

In 1803 we sailed out to sea[00:00:17]

Out from the sweet town of Derry[00:00:21]

For Australia bound if we didn't all drown[00:00:24]

And the marks of our feckles we carried[00:00:28]

In the rusty iron chains we cried for our wanes[00:00:32]

Our good women we left there in sorrow[00:00:36]

As the main sails unfurled our curses we hurled[00:00:39]

At the english and the thoughts of tomorrow[00:00:43]

At the mouth of the foyle bid farwell to the soil[00:00:49]

As down below decks we were lying[00:00:53]

O'docherty's scream woke him out of a dream[00:00:56]

By a vision of bold robert dying[00:01:00]

The sun burned cruel and we dished out the gruel[00:01:04]

Dan o'connor was down with the fever[00:01:08]

Sixty rebels today bound for botany bay[00:01:12]

How many would reach there this evening[00:01:16]

Oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry[00:01:22]

Oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry[00:01:29]

I cursed them to hell as our bow fought the swell[00:01:38]

Our ship danced like a moth in the firelight[00:01:42]

Wild horses rode high as the devil passed by[00:01:46]

Taking souls into hades by twilight[00:01:50]

Five weeks out to sea we were now 43[00:01:54]

We buried our comrades each morning[00:01:57]

And in our own slime we were lost in the time[00:02:01]

Endless night without dawning[00:02:05]

Oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry[00:02:11]

Oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry[00:02:18]

Van diemens land is a hell for a man[00:02:28]

To end out his whole life in slavery[00:02:32]

Where the climate is raw and the gun makes the law[00:02:36]

Neither wind nor rain care for bravery[00:02:39]

Twenty years have gone by and I've ended my bond[00:02:43]

My comrades' ghosts walk behind me[00:02:47]

A rebel I came and I'm still the same[00:02:51]

On a cold winters night you will finds me[00:02:55]

Oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry[00:03:01]

Oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry[00:03:08]

Oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry[00:03:16]

Oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry[00:03:23]
