Back Home In Derry - Christy Moore[00:00:04]

In 1803 we sailed out to sea[00:00:19]

Out from the sweet town of Derry[00:00:23]

For Australia bound if we didn't all drown[00:00:26]

And the marks of our fetters we carried[00:00:30]

In our rusty iron chains we cried for our weans[00:00:34]

Our good women we left in sorrow[00:00:38]

As the mainsails unfurled our curses we hurled[00:00:41]

On the English and thoughts of tomorrow[00:00:45]

At the mouth of the Foyle bid farewell to the soil[00:00:49]

As down below decks we were lying[00:00:55]

O'Doherty screamed woken out of a dream[00:00:59]

By a vision of bold Robert dying[00:01:02]

The sun burned cruel as we dished out the gruel[00:01:07]

Dan O'Connor was down with a fever[00:01:10]

Sixty rebels today bound for Botany Bay[00:01:14]

How many will meet their reciever[00:01:18]

Oh I wish I was back home in Derry[00:01:23]

Oh I wish I was back home in Derry[00:01:31]

I cursed them to hell as her bow fought the swell[00:01:41]

Our ship danced like a moth in the firelight[00:01:44]

White horses rode high as the devil passed by[00:01:48]

Taking souls to Hades by twilight[00:01:52]

Five weeks out to sea we were now forty-three[00:01:55]

We buried our comrades each morning[00:01:59]

In our own slime we were lost in a time[00:02:03]

Of endless night without dawning[00:02:07]

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

Oh I wish I was back home in Derry[00:02:20]

Van Diemen's land is a hell for a man[00:02:30]

To end out his whole life in slavery[00:02:34]

Where the climate is raw and the gun makes the law[00:02:37]

Neither wind nor rain care for bravery[00:02:41]

Twenty years have gone by I've ended my bond[00:02:45]

My comrades ghosts walk behind me[00:02:49]

A rebel I came I'm still the same[00:02:53]

On the cold winters night you will find me[00:02:56]

Oh I wish I was back home in Derry[00:03:02]

Oh I wish I was back home in Derry[00:03:10]

Oh I wish I was back home in Derry[00:03:19]
