I love coming home from far across the sea I pick my little wee wifey up and set her on my knee See how my eldest boy has grown whilst I've been away See here's a boat I've whittled for thee, especially for thee I've thought of you everyday I love coming home from far across the sea And taking up my walking cane and passing through the trees. I wander on the hillside, the doggie at my heel, The bracken waves a welcome to me 'where have you been we've missed you a great deal' I love coming home from far across the sea I pick my little wee wifey up and set her on my knee
