So I transcribed the Lyrics myself, as follows: And while I'm at it, I might as well write down the ABC Notation [see next message]
Sailing Home Dublin City Ramblers
I'm a Liberty Boy that I'll never deny And I love the old town I was born in And I rue the day that I sailed away On a gray November morning
Ah! Me Love shed a tear as she stood by the pier And I told her I have to be going She's my treasure and pearl, she's my own darling girl But my wild oats I have to be sewing.
I'm sailing home to Dublin City To the one who's waiting for me there Home again to Dublin City Oh! How I'm longing to be there
[Instrumental]
I've seen all the sights of this great world's delights As I sailed from Vancouver to Dover I've hunted the whale and weathered the gale So my roving days are all over
For I miss Merr street's smell and the old Liffey's swell And the Pigeon House lights in the evening And Sandy Mount Strand where we walked hand in hand And we watched while the mail boats was leaving
I'm sailing home to Dublin City To the one who's waiting for me there Home again to Dublin City Oh! How I'm longing to be there
I'm sailing home to Dublin City To the one who's waiting for me there Home again to Dublin City Oh! How I'm longing to be there.
