Philomena [bbc Radio 1 John Peel Session] Lyrics - Nightlife - Thin Lizzy

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 hear the wind whistling through the wild wood 

Whispering goodbye 

And it's home, boys, home 

It's home, boys, home 

It's home, boys, home 

When you're far across the foam

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And if you see my mother 

Tell her I'm keeping fine 

Will you tell her that I love her 

And I'll try and write sometime 

If you see my mother 

Give her all of my love 

For she has a heart of gold there 

As good as God above 

And it's home, boys, home 

She's home, boys, home 

It's home, boys, home 

When you're far across the foam 

Oh there's no place like home 

And if you see my old one 

Will you tell her I'm keeping fine 

Will you tell her that I love her 

And I'll try and write sometime
