It was 1962, I was two years out of school
SOL DO REWhen I got on board a boat that was bound for Liverpool
SOL DO REThe day we sailed away I remember it so well
Took a look at the North Wall and bid a fond farewell
It's a hard thing to leave the land of your childhood
MIm DOTouched by the rivers and kissed by the sea
SOL RE DO SOLThe places you played with your childhood companions
To leave dear old Ireland and Mother Mo Chroí
Though I'm going far away and I may never return here
MIm DOThere's one thing I always will keep within me
SOL RE DO SOLDeep in my heart a furious devotion
The love of old Ireland and Mother Mo Chroi

Though I'm going away and I may never return here
MIm DOThere is always one thing that I will keep within me
SOL RE DO SOLDeep in my heart a furious devotion
The love of old Ireland and Mother Mo Chroi
On the top of the Pentonville Road I saw the sun setting
MIm DOThe town laid out before me looked beautiful to me
SOL RE DO SOLAway from all the sighing, the suffering and the dying
I dreamed of the future, the young and the free
But the years they go by quickly, now I know I can't remain here
MIm DOWhere each day brings me closer to that final misery
SOL RE DO SOLMy kids will never scrape shit round here, and I won't die crying in a pint of beer
I'm going back to Ireland and Mother Mo Chroí
