home boys home lyrics
[verse 1]
there was an apprentice lived in strawberry lane
she was loved by her master and her mistress the same
until a young sailor came sailing o’er the sea
and that was the start of her misery
[verse 2]
this young maid being innocent she thought it no harm
for to go into bed, for to keep his back warm
he hugged her and he kissed her and he called her his dear
he said “i wish, my love this night were long as a year”
[verse 3]
’twas early nеxt morning this sailor arose
and into her apr+n he put handfuls of gold
“takе and keep it for the wrong that i’ve done
last night i have left you with a daughter or a son”
[verse 4]
“and if it be a girl child dandle her on your knee
and if it be a male child call him after me
and when he is a man, you can dress him up in blue
he’ll go skipping up the rigging like his daddy used to do”
[verse 5]
and it’s home boys home
and its home i’d like to be
it’s home for awhile in my old count+a+ry
where the oak and the ash and the bonny elm tree
they’re all a+growing greener in my old count+a+ry
