Mary with the Golden Hair

There's a spot in my memory that I will never forget

Where the grass is green and god made plenty time

And I knew someday somehow that I'd make it back again

To the home place and the girl I left behind

Yes I'm home, boy home

I'm home in old Ireland once again

And I swear to god above I will never leave the love

Of my Mary with the golden hair

I'm sitting by the fireside with the mum and dad

I've spoken to my kin folk and my friends

But tonight at 8 o'clock theres a door i'm gonna knock

I'll be back with my sweetheart once again

Yes I'm home, boy home

I am home in Old Ireland once again

And I swear to god above I will never leave the love

Of my Mary with the golden hair

Theres a church upon the hill and the priest that I know well

Theres a little farm a mile outside it's town

And if Mary says I will then we'll walk up that hill

And in that little farm we'll settle down

Yes I'm home, boy home

I am home in Old Ireland once again

And I swear to god above I will never leave the love

Of my Mary with the golden hair

Of my Mary with the golden hair
