I love coming home from far across the sea
I pick my little wee wifey up and set her on my knee
See how my eldest boy has grown
Whilst I've been away
See here's a boat I've whittled for thee, especially for thee
I've thought of you everyday
I love coming home from far across the sea
And taking up my walking cane
And passing through the trees
I wander on the hillside, the doggie at my heel
The bracken wave's a welcome to me
'Where have you been?
We've missed you a great deal'
I love coming home from far across the sea
I pick my little wee wifey up
And set her on my knee
