W:In the years long ago
W:When I first left my home
W:I was young and I wanted
W:The whole world to roam;
W:But now I am older
W:And wiser, you see,
W:For that lovely dark island
W:Is calling to me.

W:  Chorus:
W:  O, I've wandered away
W:  From the land of my birth,
W:  And been roaming around
W:  To the ends of the earth,
W:  Still my heart is at home
W:  In that land far away
W:  That lovely dark island
W:  Where memories stray.
W:
W:One day I'll return
W:To that far-distant shore,
W:And from that dear island
W:I'll wander no more.
W:'Til the day that I die
W:I will no longer roam
W:For that lovely dark island
W:Will be my last home.
