[F]
I wouldn't be a sailor without a sailing on the [C] main,
To gain the respect [F] of his captain's good name.
Oh he sailed ashore one evening [C] for to be,
And that was the beginning of me ultra [D]-loving me.
[F] And it's home boys, home, home I'd like to [Bb] be,
Home for a mile in me [F] own country,
Where the oak [Bb] and the ash [F] and the [C] bonny rowan tree,
Are all a-growing green in the [G] north [F] country.
Oh I asked her for a candle to light me way to bed,
Likewise for a handkerchief to tie around me head,
She tended [Bb] to me needs [F] like a young [C] maid I to do,
And then I said to her now won't you ladlin' with me,
To [F] land us home boys, home, home I'd like to [Bb] be,
Home [F] for a mile in me [C] own country,
[F] Where the [Bb] oak and the [F] ash and the bonny [C] rowan tree,
Are all a-growing green in the north country.
[F] Oh she lumped into bed making no [Bb] alarm,
Thinking that a sailor boy could do to her no [F] harm,
I hugged [Bb] her, I kissed [F] her the whole night long,
[C] I wish this short night had been seven [Bb]
years long.
[F] And it's home boys, home, home I'd like to be,
Home for a mile in me own country,
Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan [C] tree,
Are all a-growing green in [Bb] the north [F] country.
Next morning this little well [Bb] burrowed,
And into Mary's apron [C] threw a handful of gold,
[F] Said take [C] this mead ere for the mischief that I've done,
Tonight I fear I'll let [D] you out sir Arthur or a son,
[F] And it's home boys, home, home I'd like to be,
[Bb] Home [F] for a mile in me own [C] country,
[F] Where the oak and the ash and the [C] bonny rowan tree,
Are all a-growing green in the north [F] country.
Morning [C] me maidens are born and take by me,
Don't ever let a sailor lad an inch above your knee,
[F] For I [Dm] trusted one [A] and he [C] beguiled me,
Well he left me with a pair of twins to dangle on me knee,
[F] And it's home boys, home, home I'd like to [Bb] be,
Home [F] for a mile in me own [C]
country,
[F] Where the oak [Bb] and the ash [F] and the bonny [C] rowan tree,
Are all a-growing green in the [F] north country.
