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

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

My body cold and hungry, in Parkhurst jail I lie,
For the loving of my country, on hunger strike I'll die,
I have but one last longing, I pray you'll not deny,
Bury me in Mayo, beneath an Irish sky.

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

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