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

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