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
Chorus:
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
Chorus
Call all hands to man the capstain, see the cable running 
clear
Pull her 'round and with a will boys, for old 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 I 
go
Chorus
