i wrote her name and address on the back of a

cigarette pack

i did,nt know then that i'd never be going back

the ferry was leaving when we

pulled up to the quay

when we reached Hollyhead

i was as sick as i could be

i did'nt choose this way they made me go

i was a week on the job and i wanted to

go back home

what i would'nt do for a glimpse of the

Christmas tree

hear all your voices calling me

if i go back home again i'll just be

hanging 'round

maybe next year if my ship does'nt run aground

i should've listened to my brother moran when he said

i was a fool

but it's too late now i did'nt make the rules

oh god please have mercy on me

i'm all alone in another man's city

i'm not asking for much just wanta

go back home

see mam and dad and the boys oh god!
