Lovely Laois, I hear you calling
In my dreams I hear you say
Come back home to dear old Ireland
Lovely Laois, I'll come back to you some day
Twenty years ago today since I first sailed away
And left my dear old home so far behind
But since that lonely journey, my heart has always yearned
My happy home in Laois, once more to find
The view from the Slieve Bloom, dreams I can still see
A beauty just as grand as you will find
These are scenes from childhood, once more I will return
And meet those folk, those friends we had so fine
