[Verse]
Oh, you can travel far, far round this wonderous world,
And mysteries and wonders, you'll see,
But I'll trade all this world for the place that I love,
The place is dearest to me.
All the riches on the Earth, sure, can never compare,
To a friendly face or a smile,
In your towns or your towns land, with your folks in their homes,
There is nowhere that's dearer to me.
[Chorus]
And it's Tyrone, that is my home,
You'll always be with me wherever I roam,
And it's Tyrone, Tyrone,
I'll give you my heart and my home,
It's the county of Tyrone.
[Verse]
Oh, I live in a strange land I can never call home,
And Australia has been good to me,
Though my children were born here, I'll take them back home,
My own dear county to see.
Oh, I'll take you back home to the place of my birth,
To my cottage and farm by the stream,
And the little old schoolhouse where I went to school,
Were the happiest days that I've seen.
[Chorus]
And it's Tyrone, that is my home,
You'll always be with me wherever I roam,
And it's Tyrone, Tyrone,
I'll give you my heart and my home,
It's the county of Tyrone.
[Verse]
Oh, I'll take you to Cookstown, to Ardboe by Lough Neagh,
Where the fishermen sport and they toil,
Then we'll cross the mountains at old Pomeroy,
To Strabane on the banks of the Foyle.
We'll wander the streets of brave Omagh town,
Cross the hills of old Carrickmore,
Of the story Dungannon, of legend and song,
And it's there I will build you a home.
[Chorus]
And it's Tyrone, that is my home,
You'll always be with me wherever I roam,
And it's Tyrone, Tyrone,
I'll give you my heart and my home,
It's the county of Tyrone.
