Home boys home
The dublinersTo gain the good will of his captain`s good name?
He came ashore one evening for to be
And that was the beginning of my own true love and me
And it`s home, boys, home
Home I`d like to be home for a while
In me me own country
Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree
Are all a-growin green in the old country
Well I asked for a candle for to light me up to bed
And likewise for a handkerchief to tie around me head
She tended to me needs like a young maid ought to do
So then I says to her "Now won`t you leap in with me too? "
Well she jumped into bed, making no alarm
Thinking a young sailor lad could do to her no harm
Well I hugged her and I kissed her the whole night long
Till she wished the short night had been seven years long
Well early next morning the sailor lad arose
And into Mary`s apron threw a handful of gold
Saying "Take this me dear for the mischief that I`ve done
For tonight I fear I`ve left you with a daughter or a son. "
"Well if it be a girl child, send her out to nurse
with gold in her pocket and with silver in her purse
and if it be a boy child he`ll wear the jacket blue
and go climbing up the rigging like his daddy used to do"
Oh come all of you fair maidens, a warning take by me
Never let a sailor lad an inch above your knee
For I trusted one and he beguiled me
He left me with a pair of twins to dangle on me knee
