Home Boys Lyrics
<b>[Chorus]</b>
And it's home boys, home,
Home we'd like to be,
Home for a while, in the old country,
Where the Oak and the Ash,
And the bunny roam & breed,
Are all growing greener in the old country.
When i was just a young lad,
Should I long to see the world,
Sailing in the sailing ships and,
See the sails a far,
So I went to seek my fortune,
On the far side of the hill,
I wandered far and wide,
And now In travel, ive had my fill,
<b>Chorus</b>
Well, I left my love behind me,
And I sailed across the tide,
They said that'd I'd come back again,
To take her for my bride,
But many the year has passed and gone,
And still I'm far way,
But I know she is fond & true & waiting for the day,
That they'll be
<b>Chorus</b>
Now I've learnt theres more to life,
Than just to wander & to roam,
And happiness and peace of mind,
Can best be found at home,
But Money can't buy happiness,
And money I cannot find,
So I'm going back tomorrow,
To the girl I left behind.

Few lines I'm unsure about, but on the whole its OK. (You try translating Irish Folk). Luckily I have irish roots, guess that helped!
In this song poor old Foster goes off to all sides of Ireland, leaving his wife-to-be back in the 'Old country'. After a 'while' he comes back home to her, and finds exactly what he was looking for, happiness! Isnt that just always the case!?
