Philomena

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well I've been a wild, wild rover Sailed all over the sea But this thing that makes me wander Has made a fool of me [Verse 2] For it took me from my childhood Underneath the stars and skies And I hear the wind whistling through the wild wood Whispering goodbye [Chorus] And it's home, boys, home It's home, boys, home It's home, boys, home When you're far across the foam [Verse 3] And if you see my mother Tell her I'm keepin' fine Will you tell her that I love her And I'll try to write sometime? [Verse 4] And if you see my mother Give her all of my love For she has a heart of gold there As good as God above [Chorus] And it's home, boys, home She's home, boys, home (She's home) Home, boys, home When you're far across the foam [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Oh, there's no place like home [Verse 5] And if you see my old one Will you tell her I'm keepin' fine? Will you tell her that I love her And I'll try to write sometime? [Chorus] And it's home, boys, home (It's home, it's home) It's home, boys, home (It's home, it's home) It's home, boys, home When you're far across the foam
