[00:00:09] Well who wouldn't be a sailor lad sailing on the main

[00:00:13] To gain the good will of his captain's good name

[00:00:17] He came ashore one evening for to see

[00:00:21] And that was the beginning of my old true love and me

[00:00:24] And it's home boys home home I'd like to be

[00:00:30] Home for a while in me own country

[00:00:34] Where the Oak and the Ash and the bonny Rowan tree

[00:00:38] Are all growing greener in the old country

[00:00:41] Well I asked her for a candle for to light me way to bed

[00:00:45] And like wise for a handkerchief to tie around me head

[00:00:48] She tended to me needs like a young maid ought to do

[00:00:52] And then I said to her now would you lip in with me too

[00:00:56] And it's home boys home home I'd like to be

[00:01:02] Home for a while in me own country

[00:01:05] Where the Oak and the Ash and the bonny Rowan tree

[00:01:09] Are all growing greener in the old country

[00:01:12] Well she jumped into bed making no alarm

[00:01:16] Thinking a young sailor lad could do to her no harm

[00:01:20] Well I hugged her and I kissed her the whole night long

[00:01:23] Till she wished the short night had been seven years long

[00:01:27] And it's home boys home home I'd like to be

[00:01:33] Home for a while in me own country

[00:01:36] Where the Oak and the Ash and the bonny Rowan tree

[00:01:40] Are all growing greener in the old country

[00:01:43] Well early next morning the sailor lad arose

[00:01:47] And into Mary's apron threw a handful of gold

[00:01:50] Saying take this me dear for the demage that I've done

[00:01:54] For tonight I fear I've left you with a daughter or a son

[00:01:58] And it's home boys home home I'd like to be

[00:02:03] Home for a while in me own country

[00:02:07] Where the Oak and the Ash and the bonny Rowan tree

[00:02:10] Are all growing greener in the old country

[00:02:14] And if it be a girl child send her out to nurse

[00:02:18] With gold in her pocket and silver in her purse

[00:02:21] And if it be a boy child he'll ware the jacket blue

[00:02:24] And go climbing up the rigging like his daddy used to do

[00:02:28] And it's home boys home home I'd like to be

[00:02:34] Home for a while in me own country

[00:02:37] Where the Oak and the Ash and the bonny Rowan tree

[00:02:41] Are all growing greener in the old country

[00:02:44] Oh come all of you fair maidens a warning take by me

[00:02:48] Never let a sailor lad an inch above your knee

[00:02:52] For I trusted one and he beguiled me

[00:02:55] He left me with a pair of twins to dangle on me knee

[00:02:58] And it's home boys home home I'd like to be

[00:03:04] Home for a while in me own country

[00:03:07] Where the Oak and the Ash and the bonny Rowan tree

[00:03:11] Are all growing greener in the old country
