Philomena lyrics

I've been a wild wild rover

Sailed all over the sea

But this thing that makes me wonder

Has made a fool of me

For it took me from my childhood

Underneath the stars and skies

And I still hear the wind

Whistling through the wild wood, whispering goodbye

It's home boys home

She's home boys home

No matter

Where I roam

If you see my mother

Please give her all of my love

For she has a heart of gold there

As good as God above

If you see my mother

Tell her I'm keeping fine

Tell her that I love her

And I'll try and write sometime
