It was 1962, I was two years out of school
SOL DO RE
When I got on board a boat that was bound for Liverpool
SOL DO RE
The day we sailed away I remember it so well
SOL MIm RE SOL
Took a look at the North Wall and bid a fond farewell
SOL DO SOL
It's a hard thing to leave the land of your childhood
MIm DO
Touched by the rivers and kissed by the sea
SOL RE DO SOL
The places you played with your childhood companions
DO SOL RE SOL
To leave dear old Ireland and Mother Mo Chroí
SOL DO SOL
Though I'm going far away and I may never return here
MIm DO
There's one thing I always will keep within me
SOL RE DO SOL
Deep in my heart a furious devotion
DO SOL RE SOL
The love of old Ireland and Mother Mo Chroi

On the top of the Pentonville Road I saw the sun setting
MIm DO
The town laid out before me looked beautiful to me
SOL RE DO SOL
Away from all the sighing, the suffering and the dying
DO SOL RE SOL
I dreamed of the future, the young and the free
SOL DO SOL
But the years they go by quickly, now I know I can't remain here
MIm DO
Where each day brings me closer to that final misery
SOL RE DO SOL
My kids will never scrape shit round here, and I won't die crying in a pint of beer
DO SOL RE SOL
I'm going back to Ireland and Mother Mo Chroí
