Home - The Rumjacks

Take me please, I beg you, across the emerald sea

I’m nearly dead from waiting for your hand to reach for me

The day is near upon us, turning a bluish-grey

The air is getting warmer and it’s time we hauled away

Turn for home, will ye go lassie go?

We’ve done all we can, so let’s sail away from the things of man now, go

Time is near upon us, I long to see the day

When all is put to balance and the evil cast away

Do you hear me trying to reach you with every breath I take?

I call you down from the mountain top, will ya come to break me

Come to take me home, will ye go lassie go?

We’ve done all we can, so let’s sail away from the things of man now, go

Turn for home, will ye go lassie go?

We’ve done all we can, so let’s sail away from the things of man now, go

Take me please, I beg you, across that crimson lake

The blood of ancient heroes foaming in our wake

The broken savage coast ahead will recognise her own

Rocks will march into the sea and guard our passage

Guard our passage home, will ye go lassie go?

We’ve done all we can, so let’s sail away from the things of man now, go

Turn for home, will ye go lassie go?

We’ve done all we can, so let’s sail away from the things of man now, go
