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
