Ralph Butts Lyr/Tune Add: Sailor Home from the Sea (D Hewett) (13) Lyr Add: LOVE OF THE NORTH (from Clancy Brothers) 06 Aug 98


I have a different version, from the Clancy Brothers. Pretty song...Tiger

LOVE OF THE NORTH
As performed by The Clancy Brothers

Oh, love of the North, with a dream in your hand,
My love, he's come home to this beautiful land,
And he comes to the door with his eyes like the sun,
And his kitbag all full of the treasures he's won,

A borrowed old broom, an old foreign tale,
And the shell of a clam, the jaws of a whale.
My kitchen is full of the smell of the sea,
And all the fine things my love brings to me.

Come, gather your treasures, a garden in bloom,
And bring them along to our sweet living room.
With the sun in the morning ablaze on your chest,
My love, he's come home from the North by Northwest.

And here in our bed, while we sleep,
We lie and we listen to the sounds of the deep,
And as warm as the summer, we'll sleep winter long,
My love, he's come home like King Solomon's song.

REPEAT FIRST STANZA
