CHORUS

It's No man's homeland in the cold and dark sea

So sleep well, my true love, you can't wait for me

I first met you in Dublin city

No man's homeland

My heart was full, my tongue was bold

And I gave you a scarf of fine silk

A golden ring within the folds

CHORUS

I have toiled many joyless winters

No man's homeland

Upon the ship that I have signed

For six long years a hardy sailor

But I left you, my love, behind

CHORUS

Though seas are fowl and winds are bitting

No man's homeland

The ice will never break my soul

For I know you are waiting for me

That thought does keep my heart a whole

CHORUS

I have received a lonely letter

No man's homeland

The ink is dark, the words are cold

And in the letter is a silk scarf

A golden ring within the folds

CHORUS

Goodbye my love, my soul is broken

No man's homeland

For if your love has turned to stone

I will depart this world forever

The sea shall claim my flesh and bone
