Well since I was just a lad I′ve had the rovin' on me mind At sixteen years I bid adieu and wandered far away From Ballymena town I left ould Ireland far behind But I knew that I′d return again someday
And I wonder are the green fields Still as green as they can be? And I wonder if the singing birds are singing in the trees And is the air as sweet from the smell of burning peat And will anyone remember me?
So I tramped the British Isles, then I sailed across the sea I wondered what me fate would be in North Americay We landed in Quebec where they fly the Fleur-De-Lis And from there I rambled down through Boston way
And I wonder are the green fields Still as green as they can be? And I wonder if the singing birds are singing in the trees And is the air as sweet from the smell of burning peat And will anyone remember me?
Well in 'Frisco next arrived where I fell in love one day And I swore I'd take her home And show her ′round the Emerald Isle But the children came along and the time it slipped away Though I dreamt of dear ould Ireland all the while
And I wonder are the green fields Still as green as they can be? And I wonder if the singing birds are singing in the trees And is the air as sweet from the smell of burning peat And will anyone remember me?
And I wonder are the green fields Still as green as they can be? And I wonder if the singing birds are singing in the trees And is the air as sweet from the smell of burning peat And will anyone remember me?
And now I′m old and grey and me rovin' days are done Returning to ould Ireland′s just a dream across the foam But me thoughts are still me own and I know where I begun And fondly do I think back on me home
And I wonder are the green fields Still as green as they can be? And I wonder if the singing birds are singing in the trees And is the air as sweet from the smell of burning peat And will anyone remember me?
