Lyrics

[00:05.372] I always will remember well
[00:07.389] The day we went away
[00:09.459] Sailing out of Dublin in the morning
[00:13.323] Our hopes were on tomorrow as we kissed the girls farewell
[00:17.280] And our dreams were on the day of our returning
[00:22.185] There'll be dancin', romancin', and never more we'll roam
[00:30.448] There'll be rollin' in the hay
[00:32.633] There'll be whiskey in the tay
[00:34.859] When the boys come rolling home
[00:38.858] We safely reached the other side in New York City fair
[00:42.839] In spite of wind and rain and stormy weather
[00:46.802] We all sat down and drank a glass
[00:48.851] And wished each other well
[00:50.847] And we said that we'd be going back together
[00:55.703] There'll be dancin', romancin', and never more we'll roam
[01:03.781] There'll be rollin' in the hay
[01:06.157] There'll be whiskey in the tay
[01:08.346] When the boys come rolling home
[01:26.617] Now Del went up to Boston, and Sam to Buffalo
[01:30.006] And Pat went down as far as Californie
[01:34.136] I used to get some letters then, but that was long ago
[01:38.171] And they always spoke of Ireland and returning
[01:42.902] There'll be dancin', romancin', and never more we'll roam
[01:51.086] There'll be rollin' in the hay
[01:53.314] There'll be whiskey in the tay
[01:55.497] When the boys come rolling home
[01:59.620] Well, I'm well over eighty now, my grandson's by my bed
[02:03.707] And here I'm in Chicago and still scheming
[02:07.791] He says he'll take me back again to rest my weary head
[02:11.794] And I'll leave him a legacy of dreaming
[02:16.751] There'll be dancin', romancin', and never more we'll roam
[02:25.027] There'll be rollin' in the hay
[02:27.276] There'll be whiskey in the tay
[02:29.449] When the boys come rolling home
[02:33.227] There'll be dancin', romancin', and never more we'll roam
[02:41.539] There'll be rollin' in the hay
[02:43.709] There'll be whiskey in the tay
[02:45.895] When the boys come rolling home
