It was G1962, I was Ctwo years out of Dschool
When I Ggot on board a boat that was Cbound for LiverDpool
The Gday we sailed away I reCmember it so Dwell
Took a Glook at the North EmWall and Dbid a fond fareGwell
It's a Ghard thing to leave the Cland of your Gchildhood
Touched by the rivers and Emkissed by the Csea
The Gplaces you Dplayed with your Cchildhood comGpanions
To Cleave dear old GIreland and DMother Mo GChro?
Though I'm Ggoing far away and I may Cnever reGturn here
There's one thing I always will Emkeep within Cme
GDeep in my Dheart a Cfurious deGvotion
The Clove of old GIreland and DMother Mo GChroi

Though I'm Ggoing away and I may Cnever reGturn here
There is always one thing that I will Emkeep within Cme
GDeep in my Dheart a Cfurious Gdevotion
The Clove of old GIreland and DMother Mo GChroi

On the Gtop of the Pentonville Road I Csaw the sun Gsetting
The town laid out before me looked Embeautiful to Cme
GAway from all the Dsighing, the Csuffering and the Gdying
I Cdreamed of the Gfuture, the Dyoung and the Gfree
But the Gyears they go by quickly, now I Cknow I can't reGmain here
Where each day brings me closer to that Emfinal miserCy
My Gkids will never scrape Dshit round here, and I Cwon't die crying in a Gpint of beer
I'm Cgoing back to GIreland and DMother Mo GChro?
