Philomena

Well, 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 hear the wind whistling through the wild wood

Whispering goodbye

And it's homeboy, it's home

It's homeboy, it's home

It's homeboy, it's home

When you fire across the farm

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 homeboy, it's home

She's homeboy, it's home

She's home, homeboy, it's home

When you fire across the farm

No place, no place like home

And if you see my other one

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 homeboy, it's home

It's homeboy, it's home

It's homeboy, it's home

When you fire across the farm
