Sailed all over the sea
But this thing that makes me wonder
Has made a fool of me
For it took me from my childhood
Underneath the stars and skies
And I still hear the wind
Whistling through the wild wood, whispering goodbye
It's home boys home
She's home boys home
No matter
Where I roam
If you see my mother
Please give her all of my love
For she has a heart of gold there
As good as God above
If you see my mother
Tell her I'm keeping fine
Tell her that I love her
And I'll try and write sometime
I've been a wild wild rover Sailed all over the sea But this thing that makes me wonder Has made a fool of me For it took me from my childhood Underneath the stars and skies And I still hear the wind Whistling through the wild wood, whispering goodbye It's home boys home She's home boys home No matter Where I roam If you see my mother Please give her all of my love For she has a heart of gold there As good as God above If you see my mother Tell her I'm keeping fine Tell her that I love her And I'll try and write sometime Explain Request ×
