Take me home to a place [C] where I first [G] saw the light, to the sweet sunny sky, oh [C] take me home.
Where the [G] muckling birds sang [C] me to sleep [G] every night, oh why was I [D] tempted to roam?
Oh I think of regret [C] of the dear [G] home I left, and the warm heart to chair [C] me there.
Of the [G] wife and the dear [C] ones of whom [G] I'd be ripped and die [Bm] of the old place again.
[G] Take me home to a place [C] where my little [G] ones sleep, and old Marshy lies [C] dead nearby.
Oh the [G] graves of the [C] loved ones I [G] long had to meet, among them [A] to rest and to [G] die.

Take me home to a place [C] where the [G] yarns greet, to my cot in the [C] evergreen shade.
Where the [G] flowers on the river [C] green margin [G] make, they are sweet on the banks where we play.
To the pet to our cottage [C] I say to [G] have no need, the place is quite lonely [C] around, and
I [G] know that the smiles [C] and the farms [G] I have seen.
Now lies in the cold mossy ground, take me home to a place [C] where my little [G] ones sleep,
and old Marshy lies dead [C] nearby.
Oh the graves of the loved ones I long [G] had to meet, among them to rest and to die.
