Oh well who wouldn`t be a sailor lad a sailin` on the main [00:00:01]
To gain the good will of his captain`s good name [00:00:05]
He came ashore one evening for to be [00:00:09]
And that was the beginning of my own true love and me[00:00:12]
And it`s home boys home[00:00:16]
Home I`d like to be home for a while[00:00:19]
In me own country [00:00:22]
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 ""[00:00:42]
It`s home boys home[00:00:45]
Home Boys Home - The Dubliners[00:00:48]
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[00:00:54]
Are all a-growin` green in the old country [00:00:58]
Well she jumped into bed making no alarm[00:01:01]
Thinking a young sailor lad could do to her no harm [00:01:05]
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 [00:01:57]
""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 [00:02:04]
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[00:02:14]
Home I`d like to be home for a while[00:02:17]
In 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]
Never let a sailor lad an inch above your knee [00:02:33]
For I trusted one and he beguiled me [00:02:37]
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]
