G
A
D
Well, who would be a sailor lad,
G
D
a -sailing on the main,
D
G
D
of his captain's domain?
D
A
he'd been far to sea,
D
G
And that was the start
A
D
of me old true love and me.
A
D
G
And it's home, boys, home
G
D
Home for a while in the old country
A
D
G
Where the oak, the ash
D
A
and the funny rowan tree
D
G
Well, they're all a -growing greener
D
Well, I asked her for a candle
G
D
to light me way to bed
A
Likewise for a handkerchief
D
G
D
to tie around me head
D
A
like a young maid ought to do
D
G
So then I says to her,
A
D
would you like to jump in too?
A
D
G
And it's home, boys, home
G
D
E
D
A
Home for a while in the El Consiree
D
G
Where the oak, the ash
D
A
and the bonny rowan tree
D
G
Well, they're all a -growin' greener
A
D
in the El Consiree
She jumped into the bed,
G
D
makin' no alarm
A
Thinkin' the young sailor lad
G
D
would do to her no harm
G
I hugged her, I kissed her,
D
A
the whole night long
D
G
She wished the short night
A
D
would be seven years long
A
D
G
And it's home, boys, home
G
D
E
home for a while in the old country
A
D
G
Where the oak, the ash
D
A
and the bunny rowing tree
D
G
They're all a -growing greener
D
Well early next morning
D
A
And into Mary's apron
D
G
threw a handful of gold
D
G
To take this, dear,
D
A
for the damage that I've done
G
A
D
I've left you with a daughter or a son
G
Oh, and it's home, boy, it's home
G
D
home for a while in the Elkhornsery
A
D
G
Where the oak, the ash
D
A
and the bonny rose tree
D
G
They're all a -growing greener
D

D
G
boys, home,
G
D
home for a while in the old country
A
D
G
Where the oak, the ash
D
G
A
and the buddy row and stream
D
G
They're all a -growing greener
D
Well, if it be a girl child,
G
D
I'll send her out to Norse
A
With gold in her pocket
D
G
D
and silver in her purse
G
And if it be a boy child,
D
A
he'll wear the jacket blue
D
G
Go climbing up the ring
A
D
and like his daddy used to do
A
D
A
D
An d it's all boys' home,
G
D
home
I'd like to be
G
D
E
Home for a while in the old country
A
D
I wear the oak, the ash,
G
D
A
and the bunny rowing tree
D
G
They're all a -growing greener
D
So come all ye fair maidens,
G
D
a warning take from me
A
Never let a sailor land
G
D
an inch above your knee
G
D
A
I ain't trusted one, and he beguiled me
D
G
He left me with a pair of twins
A
D
to dangle on me knee
A
D
G
Oh, and it's home, boys, home
D
G
D
Home, I'd like to be home for a while
In the old country
A
D
G
Where the oak, the ash,
D
A
and the funny rowan tree
D
G
They're all a -growing greener
A
D
in the old country
