Philomena

Well I've been a wild wild rover
Sailed all over the sea
But this thing that makes me wonder
Has made a fool of me

For it took me from my childhood
Underneath the stars and skies
And I hear the wind
Whistling through the wild wood, whispering goodbye

And it's home boys home
It's home boys home
It's home boys home
When you fire across the fount

And if you see my mother
Tell her I'm keeping fine
Will you tell her that I love her
And I'll try and write sometime

And if you see my mother
Give her all of my love
For she has a heart of gold there
As good as God above

And it's home boys home
She's home boys home
(She's home) Home boys home
When you fire across the fount

Oh there's no place like home

And if you see my old one
Will tell her I'm keeping fine
Will you tell her that I love her
And I'll try and write sometime

And it's home boys home
It's home boys home
It's home boys home
It's home boys home
When you fire across the fount
