I just saw a post on Facebook from the Cottingham Folkclub where Enda Kenny sang "Julia just wants to go home". Does anyone have the lyrics of this song? Thanks.

Seems like he wrote it. Not sure if he changed the name for one performance or another, but this video titles it "Tania Just Wants To Go Home"

I can take a stab at transcribing if no one else knows it / gets to it. Video isn't the best recording quality, though, so it may present a bit of a challenge.

Thank you, as English is not my native language for me it is difficult. I hope someone can help.

This is what I got from that YouTube video. Obviously incomplete and incorrect.

Ellipses (...) are where I could not make out entire words. Question marks in braces [?] are where the words I made out are ... not obviously right.

Tania Just Wants to Go Home
Enda Kenny
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6b3WrHB49g

They're peeling the labels, puttin' chairs on the table
   Tania just wants to go home
Pickin' up glasses and knockin' back passes
   Tania just wants to go home
The bottle shop's shuttered, on thousands of rounds
A [... night? candy land?] band in this smoky old town
It's a Sunday night on a holy [?] ground [?]
   Tania just wants to go home

The accordion player was always a stayer [?]
   Tania just wants to go home
Tommy's [?] old man in her old panel van
   Tania just wants to go home
It's been too long a weekend, too many VDs (that's "Victoria District")
Too many cowboys, too many CDs (that's "Common Ground")
Somebody order a taxicab please
   Tania just wants to go home

-- CHORUS --
Tania just wants to go
Out the door, down the road
Tania just wants to go home
Tania just wants to go
More than you'll ever know
Tania just wants to go home

They pull out the tin from yesterday's bringin' [?]
   Tania just wants to go home
Tired of the grins on our busy old faces
   Tania just wants to go home
A warm bath is waiting, a book by the bed
Tania's got room for one thought in her head
Tall, dark, and handsome, her heart [?] goes [?] to [?] bed [?]
   Tania just wants to go home

-- CHORUS --

They're peeling the labels, puttin' chairs on the table
   Tania just wants to go home
Pickin' up glasses and knockin' back passes
   Tania just wants to go home
The bottle shop's shuttered, on thousands of rounds
A [... night? candy land?] band in this smoky old town
It's a Sunday night on a holy [?] ground [?]
   Tania just wants to go home
   Tania just wants to go home

Thanks for the start, NightWing. Here's how I'd fill in the gaps. "Sandilands" is apparently a neighborhood in Lincolnshire. The Lincolnshire area is (so says Wikipedia) known for its marshy terrain, especially along the coastline.

TANIA JUST WANTS TO GO HOME
(Enda Kenny)

They're peelin' their labels, chairs on the tables
 Tania just wants to go home
She's pickin' up glasses and knockin' back passes
 Tania just wants to go home
The bottle shop's shutters are down to the ground
A Sandilands band sings a swampy old sound
It's a Sunday night on a holy ground
 But Tania just wants to go home

The accordion player was always a stayer
 Tania just wants to go home
She don't need no man in her old panel van
 Tania just wants to go home
It's been too long a weekend, too many VDs (that's "Victoria District")
Too many cowboys, too many CDs (that's "Common Ground")
Somebody order a taxicab please
 'Cause Tania just wants to go home

CHORUS
Tania just wants to go out the door, down the road
Tania just wants to go home
Tania just wants to go more than you'll ever know
Tania just wants to go home

She's pulling the pins from yesterday's braces
 Tania just wants to go home
Tired of the grins on our boozy old faces
 Tania just wants to go home
A warm bath is waiting, a book by the bed
Tania's got only one thought in her head
Tall, dark, and handsome, her horoscope says
 Tania just wants to go home

CHORUS

They're peelin' their labels, chairs on the tables
 Tania just wants to go home
She's pickin' up glasses and knockin' back passes
 Tania just wants to go home
The bottle shop's shutters are down to the ground
A Sandilands band sings a swampy old sound
It's a Sunday night on a holy ground
 Tania just wants to go home

---------------------

Seems to be a song about a waitress just waiting for the hangers-on, perhaps more specifically the band, to leave so she can enjoy some peace and quiet. She's also been worn out from tourists over the course of the day.

VDs, Victoria District ––– that should be, VBs, Victoria Bitters (Victoria Bitter being a brand of beer in Australia).

I'm not sure what "CDs" are, probably another beer, maybe "Common Draft".

I'd normally defer to your knowledge here, Gerry, but the parentheticals are of Enda's own creation.

cnd, is your source the video from the links upthread? I listened to it, and, yes, Enda provides the parentheticals, but what I hear him say is

*VBs (that's "Victoria Bitters")*

And how could CDs be "Common Ground"?

Ah, you are correct -- my apologies. VBs is definitely Victoria Bitters. I assumed CDs was a typo meant to be CGs but after listening more closely I believe he says "CDs (that's Common Draft)"

I'm coming to the opinion that the line is "CDs (that's Carlton Draught)". Carlton Draught (pronounced "draft") is a popular beer here in Australia.

Too many cowboys, too many CDs (that's "Carlton Draughts")

Sissy Just Wants to go Home (?) …adapted from a 23 Sep 2023 post of an Australian Enda Kenny song on “Mudcat Cafe” by NightWing
                                                      
They’re peeling off labels, but still at the tables
…Sissy just wants to go home
She’s picking up glasses and knocking back passes
…Sissy just wants to go home
The old tavern’s shutters are down to the ground
A few drunken clods sing a twangy old sound   (…It’s a)
Football night in a small Texas town
…but Sissy just wants to go home

The fans and the players are always late stayers
…but Sissy just wants to go home
Forget the big tippers, she just wants her slippers?
…Sissy just wants to go home
Too long a weekend, with way too much sleaze?
Too many cowboys, who just shoot the breeze?
Somebody order a taxicab please …’Cause Sissy just…

Sissy just wants to go, out the door, down the road
Sissy just wants to go home
Sissy just wants to go, more than you'll ever know
Sissy just wants to go home

She's aching in all of the usual places, Sissy just wants…?
Tired of the grins on the boozy old faces, Sissy just wants…
?A warm bath is waiting, a book by the bed
?Sissy's got only one thought in her head
Tall, dark, and handsome, her horoscope said, Sissy just…
