Back to Barry Town

Since the day that I left home my youth to squander

I took the path of women wine and song

I've lived the high life and the low life as I've wandered

From the red lights of Amsterdam to Suzy Wong's

Over seven seas I've traveled

Thrown six sixes on the razzle

I've had my five senses dazzled

On the four winds blown

Had three wishes used them poorly

Watched two decades flash before me

Now there's only one thing for my

I'm going home

I'm going back to Barry town

I'll find a Barry girl and settle down

I'll go to sea no more, no more to roam

It may not look like much but it's home

I've drunk ice cold in Alex and in Dover

I've survived the slings of Singapore

But that part of my life will soon be over

I'll never walk down Lime Street anymore

I've seen sights across the ocean

Tasted tasty toxic potions

Felt the force of storms in motions

Through my aching bones

Smelled success from lucky choices

Heard the sirens lusty voices

Sense my lucky charm rejoices that I'm going home

I'm going back to Barry town

I'll find a Barry girl and settle down

I'll go to sea no more, no more to roam

It may not look like much but it's home

So it's Barry docks instead of Sydney harbour

Keep Copenhagen it's the Colcut where I'll be

Not Puerto Mont but Porth Kerry ever after

And Cadoxton's far east enough for me

I'm going back to Barry town

I'll find a Barry girl and settle down

I'll go to sea no more, no more to roam

It may not look like much but it's home

I'm going back to Barry town

I'll find a Barry girl and settle down

I'll go to sea no more, no more to roam

It may not look like much but it's home
