[Home Boys Home] [Verse 1]
Well Dwho wouldn't be a sailor lad,sailing on the main, To Again the good will of his Dcaptain's good name, DHe came aGshore one eDvening for to bAe, And that was the beginning of me old true love and Dme.
[Chorus]
And it's Dhome boys home,home I'd like to be, GHome for a Dwhile in me own Acountry, Where the DOak and the GAsh,and the Dbonny Rowan Atree, Are all growing greener in the old Dcountry.
[Verse 2]
Well I Dasked her for a candle for to light me way to bed, And Alikewise for a handkerchief to Dtie around me head, DShe tended tGo me needs like a Dyoung maid aught to Ado, And then I said to her now would you leap in with me Dtoo.
[Chorus]
And it's Dhome boys home,home I'd like to be, GHome for a Dwhile in me own Acountry, Where the DOak and the GAsh,and the Dbonny Rowan Atree, Are all growing greener in the old Dcountry.
[Verse 3]
Well she Djumped into bed making no alarm, DThinking a young Gsailor lad could Ddo to her no Aharm, Well I Dhugged her and I Gkissed her the Dwhole night Along, Till she wished the short night,had been seven years Dlong.
[Chorus]
And it's Dhome boys home,home I'd like to be, GHome for a Dwhile in me own Acountry, Where the DOak and the GAsh,and the Dbonny Rowan Atree, Are all growing greener in the old Dcountry.
[Verse 4]
Well Dearly next morning the sailor lad arose, And Ginto Mary's apron threw a Dhandful of Agold, Saying Dtake this me Gdear for the Dmischief that I've Adone, For tonight I fear I've left you with a daughter or a Dson.
[Chorus]
And it's Dhome boys home,home I'd like to be, GHome for a Dwhile in me own Acountry, Where the DOak and the GAsh,and the Dbonny Rowan Atree, Are all growing greener in the old Dcountry.
[Verse 5]
Well Dif it be a girl child send her out to nurse, With Ggold in her pocket and Dsilver in her Apurse, And Dif it be a Gboy child,he'll Dware the jacket Ablue, And go climbing up the riggin like his daddy used to Ddo.
[Chorus]
And it's Dhome boys home,home I'd like to be, GHome for a Dwhile in me own Acountry, Where the DOak and the GAsh,and the Dbonny Rowan Atree, Are all growing greener in the old Dcountry.
