I wrote her name and address on the back of a cigarette pack
I didnt know then that Id never be goin back
the ferry was leaving when we pulled up to the quay
When we reached Hollyhead I was as sick as I could be
I didnt choose this way they made me go
I was a week on the job and I wanted to go back home
What I wouldnt do for a glimpse of the Christmas tree
hear all your voices callin me
if I go back home again Ill just be hanging 'round
Maybe next year if my ship doesnt run aground
I should've listened to my brother Moran when he said
I was a fool, but it's too late now and I didnt make the rules
Oh, God, please have mercy on me
Im all alone in another man's city
Im not askin for much just wanta go back home
see Mam and Dad and the boys, oh, God!

Just see Mam and Dad and the boys, oh, God!
