Take Me Home William Carson

written by William T. 'Paddy' Gearin

 

In North Sydney Now I Stand

Heading For My Native Land

On The William Carson Ferry I am Bound,

 

She Is Big, She Is Strong

And She'll Speed Me Right Along

Take Me Home William Carson, Take Me Home

 

Chorus

Let Me See The Water Churn

As Your Mighty Engines Roar

Take Me Home William Carson, Take Me Home

For It's There I Long To Be

In My Home Beside The Sea

Take Me Home William Carson, To Newfoundland

 

About A Hundred Miles To Go

Lord, I'm So Excited So

I Just Can't Wait To See Old Port Aux Basques

 

And There I'll Leave No More

That Newfoundland Shore

Take Me Home William Carson, To Newfoundland

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

Many Years I've Been Away

Dreamed Of Home Every Day

Thank God At Last My Dreams Are Coming True

 

While At Home I've Heard Them Say

That We All Return Someday

Take Me Home William Carson, To Newfoundland

 

Let Me See The Water Churn

As Your Mighty Engines Roar

Take Me Home William Carson, Take Me Home

For It's There I Long To Be

In My Home Beside The Sea

Take Me Home William Carson, To Newfoundland

 

Take Me Home William Carson, To Newfoundland.
