            A                      
I wrote her name and address on the
                     E
 back of a cigarette pack

I didn’t know then that I’d never 
        A
be goin’ back
    A                              
the ferry was leaving when we 
            E
pulled up to the quay
        E                          
When we reached Hollyhead I was as 
                A
sick as I could be
         D                         
I didn’t choose this way they made 
   A
me go
        D                          
I was a week on the job and I 
             B    E
wanted to go back ho-O-Ome
       A                           
What I wouldn’t do for a glimpse of
               E
 the Christmas tree
E                               A
hearIN' all your voices callin’ me
     A                             
if I go back home again I’ll just 
           E
be hanging 'round
E                                 
Maybe next year if my ship doesn’t
      A
 run aground
             D                 
I should've listened to Brother 
                            A
Moran when he said I was a fool,
         D                         
but it's too late now and I didn’t 
         B    E
make the ru-U-Ules
    A                         E
Oh, God, please have mercy on me
    E                          A
I’m all alone in another man's city
A                                 
I’m not askin’ for much just wanta
         E
 go back home
    E                             
see Mam and Dad and the boys, oh, 
E
God!

I should've listened to Brother 
Moran when he said I was a fool,
but it's too late now and I didn’t 
make the rules
Oh, God, please have mercy on me
I’m all alone in another man's city
I’m not askin’ for much just wanta 
go back home
See Mam and Dad and the boys, oh, 
God!
Just see Mam and Dad and the boys, 
oh, God!
