Lyrics

As I have roved through many lands and many friends I’ve made
Not one fair scene or kindly smile can this young heart forget
But I’ll confess that I’m content no more I wish to roam
So steer me back for Erin’s Isle for Erin is my home.

If England was my place of birth I would love her tranquil shore
If bonnie Scotland was my home her mountains I’d adore
But pleasant days in both I spent no more I wish to roam
So steer me back for Erin’s Isle for Erin is my home.
