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
