Philomena (BBC Radio 1 John Peel Session)

[Verse 1]

Well I've 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 sky

And I hear the wind whistling through the wild wood

Whispering goodbye

[Chorus]

And it's home, boys, home

Home, boys, home

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

Givе her all of my love

For she has a hеart of gold there

Good as God above

[Chorus]

And she's home, boys, home

Home, boys, home

Home, boys, home

When you're far across the foam

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

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 she's home, boys, home

Home, boys, home

Home, boys, home

When you're far across the foam

Oh, there's no place
