Tyrone Songtext
von Wolfe Tones

Oh you can travel far far ′round this
Wondrous world and mysteries and wonders you'll see
But I′ll trade all this world for the place
That I love the place that is dearest to me
All the riches on earth sure can
Never compare to a friendly face or a smile
In your towns or your town lands with your folks
In their homes there is nowhere that is dearer to me

And it's Tyrone that is my home you'll be with me wherever I roam
And it′s Tyrone, Tyrone, I′ll give you my heart and my home
It's the County of Tyrone


Oh I live in a strange land I can never
Call home and Australia has been good to me
Though my children were born here I′ll
Take them back home my dear own County to see
Oh I'll take you back home to the place of
My birth to my cottage and farm by the stream
And the little old schoolhouse where I went
To school were the happiest days I have seen

And it′s Tyrone that is my home you'll be with me wherever I roam
And it′s Tyrone, Tyrone, I'll give you my heart and my home
It's the County of Tyrone

Oh I′ll take you to Cookstown to Ardboe by
Lough Neagh where the fishermen sport and they toil
Then we′ll cross the mountains at old
Pomeroy to Strabane on the banks of the Foyle
We'll wander the streets of brave Omagh
Town cross the hills of old Carrickmore
Then to storied Dungannon of legend and
Song and it′s there that I'll built you a home

And it′s Tyrone that is my home you'll be with me wherever I roam
And it′s Tyrone, Tyrone, I'll give you my heart and my home
It's the County of Tyrone
