[Verse 1]
Oh, Boston's a fine town
With ships in the bay
And I wish in my heart
It was there I was today
I wish in my heart
I was far away from here
Sitting in the corner and talking to my dear
[Chorus]
For it's home, dearie, home
It's home I want to be
And it's home, dearie, home
In my own country
Oh, the ash and the oak
And the bonny elm tree
They're all growin' green
In my own country
[Verse 2]
In Liverpool city
As I walked down the street
A maiden with a baby I'd chance for to meet
And I thought how I sailed
And the cradle standing ready
And the pretty little baby
That has never seen its daddy
[Chorus]
For it's home, dеarie, home
It's home I want to bе
And it's home, dearie, home
In my own country
Oh, the ash and the oak
And the bonny elm tree
They're all growin' green
In my own country
