Mayo Will Always Be Home Lyrics

Mayo
Will
Always
Be
Home
Intro
The
barman
is
calling
“
Time
Gentlemen
Please
“
At
a
dark

cornered
table
he
seemed
ill
at
ease
His
face
told
a
story
his
eyes
would
betray
He
said
friend
are
you
going
my
way
An
old
faded
picture
he
kept
in
his
coat
It
came
with
a
letter
that
his
mother
wrote
Taken
at
Easter
Nineteen
Sixty
Three
He
said
everyone’s
there
except
me
Chorus
Mayo
will
always
be
home
No
matter
wherever
I
roam
Although
we’re
divided
by
land
and
by
sea
Mayo
will
always
be
home,
to
me
Instrumental
Born
on
the
Island,
raised
on
the
shore
He
talked
of
the
sun
and
the
clouds
on
Slieve
Mor
Barely
a
man
when
he
left
behind
Someone
who
still
crosses
his
mind
He
said
they’re
all
gone
now
there’s
nobody
home
His
mother
saw
90
she
died
all
alone
Time
wasn’t
in
it
to
bid
her
goodbye
How
it
hurt
to
see
this
old
man
cry
Chorus
Instrumental
Key
Change
We
landed
in
Mayo
this
old
man
and
me
He
stopped
by
the
old
home
one
last
time
to
see
The
house
and
the
garden,
the
open
half
door
And
he
said
as
we
stood
on
the
shore
Chorus
Mayo
will
always
be
home
No
matter
wherever
I
roam
Although
we’re
divided
by
land
and
by
sea
Mayo
will
always
be
home
Mayo
will
always
be
home
No
matter
wherever
I
roam
Although
we’re
divided
by
land
and
by
sea
Mayo
will
always
be
home,
to
me
