Well, I've been the wild, wild rover
Sailed all over the sea
But this thing that makes me wander
Has made a fool of me
For it took me from my childhood
Underneath the stars and skies
And I hear the wind whistling through
the wildwood Whispering goodbyes
And it's home by us all It's home by us all
It's home by us all
When you fire across the foam
And if you see my mother Tell her I'm keeping fine
Will you tell her that I love her And I'll try to write sometime
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
And it's home by us all She's home by us all
Home by us all When you fire across the foam
Oh, there's no place like home
And if you see my Alwyn Will you tell her I'm keeping fine
Will you tell her that I love her And I'll try to write sometime
And it's home by us all It's home by us all
It's home by us all
When you fire across the foam
