The Irish Rovers - When the Boys Come Rollin' Home lyrics

I remember very well the day we went away Sailing out of Belfast in the morning Our hopes were on tomorrow as we kissed the girls goodbye But our dreams were on the day of our returning. and There'll be dancing and romancing and and Never more we'll roam. There'll be rolling in the hay, there'll be whiskey in the tay When the Boys Come Rolling Home We safely reached the other side to New York City fair In spite of wind and rain and stormy weather We all sat down to have a drink and wish each other well And said that we would all go home together and There'll be dancing and romancing and and Never more we'll roam. There'll be rolling in the hay, there'll be whiskey in the tay Paddy went to Boston and Bruce to Buffalo And Jim he went as far as California They used to write me letters then but that was long ago And they always talked of Ireland and returning. and There'll be dancing and romancing and and Never more we'll roam. There'll be rolling in the hay, there'll be whiskey in the tay I must be nearly ninety now, my grandson's by my bed And here I'm in Chicago and still scheming. He says he'll take me home again to rest my weary head And I'll leave him a legacy of dreaming. and There'll be dancing and romancing and and Never more we'll roam. There'll be rolling in the hay, there'll be whiskey in the tay and There'll be dancing and romancing and and Never more we'll roam. There'll be rolling in the hay, there'll be whiskey in the tay
