lyrics

There was a young girl from Tralee
Moved to England to feed her family
Earnt her wages on her own
Then she sent them home

As she was walking off to work
Met a young boy in a sailor's coat
I'm an Englishman from London Town
Let me show you around

If I had it in my bones
If I was strong, I'd walk home
Back to Ireland by the sea
I'd walk miles to Tralee

If I had it in my head
If I could walk, I'd walk it
The road to Ireland, by the sea
I'd walk miles to Tralee

I'd walk all the way across the island
I'd walk all the way to the shore
I'd walk all the way to the very town
To the house where I was born
To the very door

I'd walk all the way across the island
I'd walk all the way to the shore
I'd walk all the way to the very town
To the house where I was born
To the very door

If our sailor boy should die
Is it our blood that keeps us alive?
When our second sailor boy dies
Is it the grief that takes our mind?

I'd walk all the way to the island
I'd walk all the way to the sea
I'd walk all the way to the very town
To the land where I was born
To my home in Tralee
