[Chorus]
So, take me home to Mayo, across the Irish Sea,
Home to dear old Mayo where once I roamed so free,
Please take me home to Mayo and let my body lie,
Home at last in Mayo, beneath an Irish sky.

[Verse]
My name is Michael Gaughan, from Ballina I came,
And I saw my people suffering, swore to break their chains,
I raised the flag in England, prepared to fight or die,
Far away from Mayo, beneath an Irish sky.

[Chorus]
So, take me home to Mayo, across the Irish Sea,
Home to dear old Mayo, where once I roamed so free,
Please take me home to Mayo and let my body lie,
Home at last in Mayo, beneath an Irish sky.

[Verse]
My body's cold and hungry, Parkhurst jail I lie,
For the loving of my country, on hunger strike I'll die,
I have just one last yearing, I pray you'll not deny,
That's bury me in Mayo, beneath an Irish sky.

[Chorus]
So, take me home to Mayo, across the Irish Sea,
Home to dear old Mayo, where once I roamed so free,
Please take me home to Mayo and let my body lie,
Home at last in Mayo, beneath an Irish sky.

[Chorus]
So, take me home to Mayo, across the Irish Sea,
Home to dear old Mayo, where once I roamed so free,
Please take me home to Mayo and let my body lie,
Home at last in Mayo, beneath an Irish sky.

[Chorus]
So, take me home to Mayo, across the Irish Sea,
Home to dear old Mayo where once I roamed so free,
Please take me home to Mayo and let my body lie,
Home at last in Mayo, beneath an Irish.
