[Verse 1]
Well I been a wild, wild rover
Sailed all over the sea
But this thing that makes me wander
Has made a fool of me
[Verse 2]
For it took me from my childhood
Underneath the stars and skies
And I hear the wind whistling through the wild wood
Whispering goodbyes
[Chorus]
And it's home, boys, home
It's home, boys, home
It's home, boys, home
When you're far across the foam
[Verse 3]
And if you see my mother
Tell her I'm keepin' fine
Will you tell her that I love her
And I'll try to write sometime?
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
And it's home, boys, home
She's home, boys, home
Home, boys, home
When you're far across the foam
[Instrumental Break]
Oh, there's no place like home
[Verse 5]
And if you see my old one
Will you tell her I'm keepin' fine?
Will you tell her that I love her
And I'll try to write sometime?
[Chorus]
And it's home, boys, home
It's home, boys, home
It's home, boys, home
When you're far across the foam
