Home Boys Home - Luke Kelly[00:00:00]
Written by:Luke Kelly/Ronald Joseph Drew/Ciaran Padraig Maire Bourke/Barney Mckenna[00:00:04]
Well who wouldn't be a sailor lad sailing on the main[00:00:09]
To gain the good will of his captain's good name[00:00:14]
He came ashore one evening for to see[00:00:17]
And that was the beginning of my old true love and me[00:00:21]
And it's home boys home home I'd like to be[00:00:25]
Home for a while in me own country[00:00:31]
Where the Oak and the Ash and the bonny Rowan tree[00:00:34]
Are all growing greener in the old country[00:00:38]
Well I asked her for a candle for to light me way to bed[00:00:41]
And like wise for a handkerchief to tie around me head[00:00:45]
She tended to me needs like a young maid ought to do[00:00:49]
And then I said to her now would you lip in with me too[00:00:52]
And it's home boys home home I'd like to be[00:00:56]
Home for a while in me own country[00:01:02]
Where the Oak and the Ash and the bonny Rowan tree[00:01:05]
Are all growing greener in the old country[00:01:09]
Well she jumped into bed making no alarm[00:01:13]
Thinking a young sailor lad could do to her no harm[00:01:16]
Well I hugged her and I kissed her the whole night long[00:01:20]
Till she wished the short night had been seven years long[00:01:23]
And it's home boys home home I'd like to be[00:01:27]
Home for a while in me own country[00:01:33]
Where the Oak and the Ash and the bonny Rowan tree[00:01:36]
Are all growing greener in the old country[00:01:40]
Well early next morning the sailor lad arose[00:01:44]
And into Mary's apron threw a handful of gold[00:01:47]
Saying take this me dear for the demage that I've done[00:01:51]
For tonight I fear I've left you with a daughter or a son[00:01:54]
And it's home boys home home I'd like to be[00:01:58]
Home for a while in me own country[00:02:04]
Where the Oak and the Ash and the bonny Rowan tree[00:02:07]
Are all growing greener in the old country[00:02:11]
And if it be a girl child send her out to nurse[00:02:14]
With gold in her pocket and silver in her purse[00:02:18]
And if it be a boy child he'll ware the jacket blue[00:02:21]
And go climbing up the rigging like his daddy used to do[00:02:25]
And it's home boys home home I'd like to be[00:02:28]
Home for a while in me own country[00:02:34]
Where the Oak and the Ash and the bonny Rowan tree[00:02:37]
Are all growing greener in the old country[00:02:41]
Oh come all of you fair maidens a warning take by me[00:02:44]
Never let a sailor lad an inch above your knee[00:02:48]
For I trusted one and he beguiled me[00:02:52]
He left me with a pair of twins to dangle on me knee[00:02:55]
And it's home boys home home I'd like to be[00:02:59]
Home for a while in me own country[00:03:04]
Where the Oak and the Ash and the bonny Rowan tree[00:03:08]
Are all growing greener in the old country[00:03:11]
