Well I′m bidding farewell to the land of my childhood Where friends and relations remain With me heart full of woe It grieves me to go But I mean to return once again
The land that I love can no longer support us The hunger and cold takes no rest The blight on the fields Leave little to yield And the landlords take only the best
So I'm sailing away At the dawn of the day But no matter where I chance to roam Me heart it will yearn ′Til the day I return To the green rolling hills of my home
The old ones they say that the voyage is folly To cross the Atlantical sea And many before Who sailed from the shore Well they never reached sweet liberty
So I'm sailing away At the dawn of the day But no matter where I chance to roam Me heart it will yearn 'Til the day I return To the green rolling hills of my home
And if I should somehow be one of the chosen To reach North America′s shore Come hardship or pain I will never complain At what providence might have in store
So I′m sailing away At the dawn of the day But no matter where I chance to roam Me heart it will yearn 'Til the day I return To the green rolling hills of my home
Kind fate, blow ye winds both gentle and easy And guide us safe over the foam I′ll hope and I'll pray To return one fine day To the green rolling hills of my home
So I′m sailing away At the dawn of the day But no matter where I chance to roam Me heart it will yearn 'Til the day I return To the green rolling hills of my home
Oh, me heart it will yearn ′Til the day I return To the green rolling hills of my home To the green rolling hills of my homeTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
