[Verse 1]

Well away my love away,
G
For we're sailing home today

On a boat called memory

Oh she's like some Persian queen,

With her opal robes serene

In the lamplight shimmering

Hail home, hearts that long for the land
[Chorus 1]
G
On a blue jay morning
C
Feathering thorny memories
F C F G
Hail home, hearts have been too long away

On a well-worn byway travelling

Magpie gathering

Farewell queen of waters

Well it's hard to roll in mirth,
G
When your feet don't touch the earth

Folly never foots the bill

And we all shall pay in full

For the love of melody

Hail home, hearts that long for the land

Well I should have sowed my corn,

But I danced until the dawn

Like an ant grasshoppering

Oh there must be better ways
G
For to keep the debts at bay
C
And the whiskey trickling

Hail home, hearts that long for the land

On a blue jay morning

So we'll bid our ship adieu

There's a mooring in the blue

Where the gulls are gathering

Oh she's like some Persian queen,

And her like shall ne'er be seen

Only in our reverie

Hail home, hearts that long for the land
