Warsaw Ed Lyr Req: Sailing Home (Dublin City Ramblers) (6) Lyr Add: SAILING HOME (Dublin City Ramblers) 15 Sep 07


So I transcribed the Lyrics myself, as follows:
And while I'm at it, I might as well write down the ABC Notation [see next message]

Sailing Home
Dublin City Ramblers

I'm a Liberty Boy that I'll never deny
And I love the old town I was born in
And I rue the day that I sailed away
On a gray November morning

Ah! Me Love shed a tear as she stood by the pier
And I told her I have to be going
She's my treasure and pearl, she's my own darling girl
But my wild oats I have to be sewing.

I'm sailing home to Dublin City
To the one who's waiting for me there
Home again to Dublin City
Oh! How I'm longing to be there

[Instrumental]

I've seen all the sights of this great world's delights
As I sailed from Vancouver to Dover
I've hunted the whale and weathered the gale
So my roving days are all over

For I miss Merr street's smell and the old Liffey's swell
And the Pigeon House lights in the evening
And Sandy Mount Strand where we walked hand in hand
And we watched while the mail boats was leaving

I'm sailing home to Dublin City
To the one who's waiting for me there
Home again to Dublin City
Oh! How I'm longing to be there

I'm sailing home to Dublin City
To the one who's waiting for me there
Home again to Dublin City
Oh! How I'm longing to be there.
