Chorus:
Take me home to Mayo across the Irish Sea,
Home to dear old Mayo where once I roamed so free.
Take me home to Mayo there let my body lie,
Home at last in Mayo beneath an Irish sky.

My name is Michael Gaughan, from Ballina I came.
I saw my people suffering and swore to break their chains.
I raised the flag in England, prepared to fight or die.
Far away from Mayo beneath an Irish sky.

Chorus

My body cold and hungry in Parkhurst jail I lie,
For loving of my country on hunger strike I die.
I have but one last longing I pray you'll not deny,
Bury me in Mayo beneath an Irish sky.
