Lyrics:

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 still hear the wind Whistling through the wild wood, whispering goodbye It's home boys home She's home boys home No matter Where I roam If you see my mother Please give her all of my love For she has a heart of gold there As good as God above If you see my mother Tell her I'm keeping fine Tell her that I love her And I'll try and write sometime
