I’m bound for home; for home I’m bound

            It is the place I will be found

The place where I lay me head

            Wherever I lay me head

(On this Isle of the Northern sea)

I’ve traveled here; I’ve traveled there

            There is no place that can compare

To the place where I lay me head

            Wherever I lay me head

(On this Isle of the Northern sea)

The grass is always greener; the sky is bluer than blue.

The rain comes down and washes the town; these words, they’re Truer than True.

Shapes may change, they stay the same; the stout is good as can be.

Lassies and Lads are never sad, while they’re raising a Guinness with me.         

 When on sandy beach or rocky shore

I swear I’ll travel never more

When in the plains or on hilltop

I swear me tavelin’ days will stop

(On this Isle of the Northern sea)

Then comes the call, then comes the plea

The wind she’s singing, come with me

And off I go without a thought,

Of where I am or where I’m not.

(On this Isle of the Northern sea)

 I love the place where in I was born, the place I wander through

I love the place where in I will dee and the place where I’ll start anew.

Be it Samhain or be it Beltane, it makes no matter to me

For when evening comes a new day’s begun, a new day for you and me.

I’m bound for home; for home I’m bound

            It is the place I will be found

The place where I lay me head

            Wherever I lay me head

(On this Isle of the Northern sea)
