Here you are. From this site .. Villasubrosa Apparently from the singing of .... Ann Mulqueen, July 15, 1988. Recorded at her home, An Rinn, Co. Waterford. regards Jake ************************************ THE HOME I LEFT BEHIND I was born on the hillside by yonder flowing stream It is deeply pictured in my mind, fond memories, thoughts and dreams It often nearly breaks my heart and leaves me troubled mind When I think of dear old Ireland and the home I left behind It was early next morning with a sad and broken heart I stood on the hearth of my father's floor saying, It's sad we both must part With my mother's arms around my neck as the tears her eyes did blind And I tore out from her arms in the home I left behind We travelled through old Ireland till we came to Queenstown Quay Twas there I saw a steamer bound for Americay Twas there I saw a steamer bound for some foreign clime And from there I took my last fond look at the home I left behind But since I've landed in New York strange faces I have known But there's none so dear or so near to me as the ones I left at home And when I've lots of shining gold and a girl to make my bride I will roll her in my arms in the home I left behind *******************************************************
