I love coming home from far across the sea I pick my little wee wifey up And set her on my knee See how my eldest boy has grown Whilst i've been away See here's a boat i've whittled for thee Especially for thee I've thought of you everyday I love coming home from far across the sea And taking up my walking cane And passing through the trees I wander on the hillside The doggie at my heel The bracken waves a welcome to me 'Where have you been We've missed you a great deal I love coming home from far across the sea I pick my little wee wifey up And set her on my knee
