Take me home to Mayo
Back across the sea
Take me home to Mayo
Where once I ran so free
Take me home to Mayo
And let my body lie
Home in Mayo
Beneath the western sky
My name is Michael Gaughan
From Ballina I came
I saw my people suffering
I swore to break the chains
I took the boat to England
Prepared to fight or die
Far away from Mayo
Beneath the western sky
My body cold and hungry
In Parkhurst jail I lie
In my fight for freedom
On hunger strike I’ll die
I have one last request to make
I hope you won’t deny:
Take my body back to Mayo
Beneath the western sky
Take me home to Mayo
Back across the sea
Take me home to Mayo
Where once I ran so free
Take me home to Mayo
And let my body lie
Home again in Mayo
Beneath the western sky
