Lyrics Rolling Home - Tommy Makem

I could feel the west wind blowing
I could hear the seabirds call
I could see you standing waving
As we left the old North Wall

Many thousand miles before me
On the blue and windy sea
Lonely miles and lonely hours
Lie between my love and me

Rolling home, rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
Rolling home to darlin' Dublin
Rolling home my love to thee

I have sailed the Indian Ocean
Walked on Egypt's burning sand
Seen New Zealand's misty mountains
Worked all through Van Dieman's Land

But my heart kept ever turning
To the place I'd left behind
And the girl whose love sustained me
She was always on my mind

Rolling home, rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
Rolling home to darlin' Dublin
Rolling home my love to thee

Call all hands to man the capstain
See the cable running clear
Pull her 'round and with a will boys
And for Ireland we will steer

Clear your sheets and man your halyards
Let the home bound breezes blow
There's a mighty welcome waiting
In the land to which we go

Rolling home, rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
Rolling home to darlin' Dublin
Rolling home my love to thee

Rolling home, rolling home
Rolling home across the sea
Rolling home to darlin' Dublin
Rolling home my love to thee
