It was F1962, I was Ftwo years out of Gschool
When I Fgot on board a boat that was Fbound for LiverGpool
The Fday we sailed away I reFmember it so Gwell
Took a Flook at the North AmWall and Gbid a fond fareFwell
It's a Fhard thing to leave the Fland of your Fchildhood
Touched by the rivers and Amkissed by the Fsea
The Fplaces you Gplayed with your Fchildhood comFpanions
To Fleave dear old FIreland and GMother Mo FChro?
Though I'm Fgoing far away and I may Fnever reFturn here
There's one thing I always will Amkeep within Fme
FDeep in my Gheart a Ffurious deFvotion
The Flove of old FIreland and GMother Mo FChroi

On the Ftop of the Pentonville Road I Fsaw the sun Fsetting
The town laid out before me looked Ambeautiful to Fme
FAway from all the Gsighing, the Fsuffering and the Fdying
I Fdreamed of the Ffuture, the Gyoung and the Ffree
But the Fyears they go by quickly, now I Fknow I can't reFmain here
Where each day brings me closer to that Amfinal miserFy
My Fkids will never scrape Gshit round here, and I Fwon't die crying in a Fpint of beer
I'm Fgoing back to FIreland and GMother Mo FChro?
