๐ Lyrics
As I gaze down my life's road of travel
And I think of the changes I've had
It seems long ago since I lived as a boy
Back home with mother and dad
Back home with mother and dad
I remember the stories Dad told me
And the old Irish songs he would sing
But our time together was such a short while
Somebody else needed him
Yes, the big boss above needed him
Music brought us close together
And mateship between us did flow
His aim was to hear me on record one day
Fate never intended it so
But he's listening up there now I know
I can picture the old homestead verandah
We'd yarn as the night rolled away
And the songs he would sing to his old violin
And here is the music he'd play
Yes, here is the music Dad played
When I give up my life as a rover
And I hang my guitars on the wall
Dad's old violin will be placed with them
To remind me what started it all
To remind me what started it all
And I think of the changes I've had
It seems long ago since I lived as a boy
Back home with mother and dad
Back home with mother and dad
I remember the stories Dad told me
And the old Irish songs he would sing
But our time together was such a short while
Somebody else needed him
Yes, the big boss above needed him
Music brought us close together
And mateship between us did flow
His aim was to hear me on record one day
Fate never intended it so
But he's listening up there now I know
I can picture the old homestead verandah
We'd yarn as the night rolled away
And the songs he would sing to his old violin
And here is the music he'd play
Yes, here is the music Dad played
When I give up my life as a rover
And I hang my guitars on the wall
Dad's old violin will be placed with them
To remind me what started it all
To remind me what started it all
