[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 suffer and swore to break their chains,
I took the boat to England, prepared to fight or die,
But 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 back to Mayo, there let my body lie,
Home at last to Mayo, beneath an Irish sky.
