the irish rovers - back home in sweet tralee lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
farewell to the green fields where i did roam
likewise to the mountains and glens
to the lassie i love and my parents so dear
i never will see them again

[chorus]
why did i leave my native home and cross the raging sea?
no more i’ll hear the wee birds sing back home in sweet tralee

[verse 2]
through wind and rain and a rolling sea
we suffered each lonely mile
we thought we would never see land again
and i dreamed about erin’s green isle

[chorus]
why did i lеave my native home and cross thе raging sea?
no more i’ll hear the wee birds sing back home in sweet tralee

[verse 3]
we landed safely in new york boys
and they soon had us working away
building the railways and bridges and dams
we were working twelve hours a day
[chorus]
why did i leave my native home and cross the raging sea?
no more i’ll hear the wee birds sing back home in sweet tralee

[verse 4]
now if good fortune should shine on me that
i might have money in store
i’ll go back to the green rolling hills of tralee
and then i will ramble no more

[chorus]
why did i leave my native home and cross the raging sea?
no more i’ll hear the wee birds sing back home in sweet tralee
