In the years long gone by
When I first left my home
I was young and I wanted the wide world to roam
But now I am older and wiser you see
And that lovely dark Island is calling to me

Though I've wandered away
From the land of my birth
And I've roved all around
To the ends of the earth
Still my heart is at home
In a land far away
On that lovely dark island
Where memories stay
