Home Boys Home - The Dubliners[00:00:00]
Written by:Luke[00:00:00]
Oh well who wouldn't be a sailor lad a sailin on the main[00:00:00]
To gain the good will of his captain's good name[00:00:05]
He came ashore one evening for to be[00:00:08]
And that was the beginning of my own true love and me[00:00:12]
And it's home boys home[00:00:15]
Home I'd like to be home for a while[00:00:19]
In me own country[00:00:23]
Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree[00:00:24]
Are all a-growin' green in the old country[00:00:28]
Well I asked for a candle for to light me up to bed[00:00:31]
And likewise for a handkerchief to tie around me head[00:00:35]
She tended to me needs like a young maid ought to do[00:00:38]
So then I says to her now won't you leap in with me too[00:00:41]
And it s home boys home[00:00:45]
Home I'd like to be home for a while[00:00:49]
In me own country[00:00:52]
Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree[00:00:53]
Are all a-growin' green in the old country[00:00:57]
Well she jumped into bed making no alarm[00:01:00]
Thinking a young sailor lad could do to her no harm[00:01:04]
Well I hugged her and I kissed her the whole night long[00:01:08]
Till she wished the short night had been seven years long[00:01:11]
And it's home boys home[00:01:15]
Home I'd like to be home for a while[00:01:18]
In me own country[00:01:22]
Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree[00:01:23]
Are all a-growin' green in the old country[00:01:27]
Well early next morning the sailor lad arose[00:01:30]
And into mary's apron threw a handful of gold[00:01:34]
Saying take this me dear for the mischief that I've done[00:01:37]
For tonight I fear I've left you with a daughter or a son[00:01:41]
And it's home boys home[00:01:44]
Home I'd like to be home for a while[00:01:48]
In me own country[00:01:51]
Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree[00:01:53]
Are all a-growin green in the old country[00:01:56]
Well if it be a girl child send her out to nurse[00:02:00]
With gold in her pocket and with silver in her purse[00:02:03]
And if it be a boy child he'll wear the jacket blue[00:02:07]
And go climbing up the rigging like his daddy used to do[00:02:10]
And it s home boys home[00:02:13]
Home I'd like to be home for a while[00:02:17]
In me me own country[00:02:21]
Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree[00:02:22]
Are all a-growin' green in the old country[00:02:26]
Oh come all of you fair maidens a warning take by me[00:02:29]
I never let a sailor lad an inch above your knee[00:02:33]
For I trusted one and he beguiled me[00:02:36]
He left me with a pair of twins to dangle on me knee[00:02:40]
And it's home boys home[00:02:43]
Home I'd like to be home for a while[00:02:47]
In me own country[00:02:50]
Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree[00:02:52]
Are all a-growin' green in the old country[00:02:56]
