When I was a baby boy
Me mammy said to me
"Don't play around with them Irish girls
They'll never let you be!"
I went off to Dublin
To see what I could see
They filled me up with whiskey, boys!
They never let me be!

I miss my home!
The chimney stacks and the cobbled streets I roam
Wherever I go, when I find myself alone
I close my eyes and the memories take me home

And when I was a little boy
Me mammy said to me
"Don't mess around with them French girls
They'll never let you be"
I took a trip to gay Paris
To see what I could see
They filled me up with 'Ooh la la!'
They never let me be!

I miss my home!
The chimney stacks and the cobbled streets I roam
Wherever I go, when I find myself alone
I close my eyes and the memories take me home

And when I was a young man
Me mammy said to me
"Stay away from all those Yankee girls
They'll never let you be"
I went to New York City
To see what I could see
They put mustard on me hot dog, boys!
They never let me be!

I miss my home!
The chimney stacks and the cobbled streets I roam
Wherever I go, when I find myself alone
I close my eyes and the memories take me home

Well, it's finally plain to see
They'll never let you be
I should have listened to all them things
Me mammy said to me!

I miss my home!
The chimney stacks and the cobbled streets I roam
Wherever I go, when I find myself alone
I close my eyes and the memories take me home

And now I am an old man
At the age of 93
I'm on my way to heaven, boys
To see what I can see
St. Peter's at them pearly gates
And as he opens up the door
He says "You're not finished, check me, bye!
You're going back for more!

I miss my home!
The chimney stacks and the cobbled streets I roam
Wherever I go, when I find myself alone
I close my eyes and the memories take me home

I miss my home!
The chimney stacks and the cobbled streets I roam
Wherever I go, when I find myself alone
I close my eyes and the memories take me home

I miss my home!
The chimney stacks and the cobbled streets I roam
Wherever I go, when I find myself alone
I close my eyes and the memories take me home
I close my eyes and the memories take me home
I close my eyes and the memories take me home
