Foggy Shores of Home

I’ve sailed upon the ocean wide
I’ve sailed the world around
I have sailed on barques and brigantines
From Lisbon to St John’s
I’ve sailed where the ocean tossed and rolled
I’ve sailed where the ocean foams
I have sailed where the ice floes thunder and roll
To bring the white coats home
Wherever you may ramble
Wherever you may roam
Wherever you may be, you’ll be happy to see
The foggy shores of home
I’ve sailed down to the South Sea Isles
I’ve sailed where the trade winds come
I have sailed on schooners listing low
To bring home 'backey and rum
I’ve sailed to the city of New York
And laboured in the sky
And high above the streets below
That call my heart would fly
Wherever you may ramble
Wherever you may roam
Wherever you may be, you’ll be happy to see
The foggy shores of home
One day I will return
To my dear foggy shore
And I’ll plough the grounds of my hometown
And go to sea no more
Wherever you may ramble
Wherever you may roam
Wherever you may be, you’ll be happy to see
The foggy shores of home
Wherever you may ramble
Wherever you may roam
Wherever you may be, you’ll be happy to see
The foggy shores of home
