There is another version of this song. It's on The Clancy Brothers LP of the same name from 1972. This album has never had a digital re-issue and is not very well known these days. Their version has the 'No matter where I roam' lines but not the 'I'm tired and I want to go to bed' section. And they credit I. King (as above) as the writer. I've never heard this version anywhere else (but I have recorded it myself). Anyone know of this version? Show Me The Way 1 I have watched the days melt and fade away Ten thousand times or more And I have drawn ten thousand conclusions In the sand along the shore Chorus No matter where I roam over land or sea or foam You will always hear me singing that song Show me the way to go home. 2 I've waited in the sun and listened to everyone of the questions that you pose And I have found the answers In the petals of a rose 3 I've watched you come and go, and learned enough to know There's nothing left to see And in my time I've loved a girl And I known that she loved me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKDfHbe61PI
