is the song your after this one?? From memory its the best i can do for now but if this is the one your after i will transcribe all for you no problem.


Bright shone the light from the heavens on high
Not a cloud masked the light of from the brilliant blue sky
There stood on the beach of a far distant shore
An exile from Erin that land we adore

He vacantly gazed far o'er the blue sea
as he longed for that land that he wants to see free
And as he's there thinking the time's drawing nigh
when the the good ship will bring him back home for to die

refrain
Homewards once more, Homewards once more
and the good ship is speeding to Erin's green shore
An exile returning no longer to roam
He will end his career in his dear native home

For freedom he fought and for Ireland he bled
And for this he was sentenced to hang until dead
but the sentence was not carried out if you please
But instead he was banished for years o'er the seas
