Ambletown (feat. The Ennis Sisters)

Oh, Amble is a fine town with ships about the bay I wish with all my heart that I was only there today I'm wishing in my heart, I was far away from here Sitting in my parlor and talking with my dear And it's home, dearie, home, and it's home I want to be My topsails are hoisted and I am out to sea The oak and the ash and the bonnie birchen tree Are all a-growing green in the North country And it's home, dearie, home A letter came today, but somehow I cannot speak And the proud and happy tears are a-rolling down my checks There's someone here, she says, you've been waiting for to see With your merry hazel eyes, looking up from off my knee And it's home, dearie, home, and it's home I want to be My topsails are hoisted and I am out to sea The oak and the ash and the bonnie birchen tree Are all a-growing green in the North country And it's home, dearie, home But the letter never said if we have a boy or girl It got me so confused that my heart is all a whirl So I'm going back to port, where I'll quickly turn around And take the fastest ship, which to Ambletown is bound And it's home, dearie, home, and it's home I want to be My topsails are hoisted and I am out to sea The oak and the ash and the bonnie birchen tree Are all a-growing green in the North country And it's home, dearie, home Oh, there's a wind that blows And it's blowin' from the west And of all the winds that blows Tis the one that I like best For it blows at our backs and shakes the pen and thee It soon will blow us home to the North country And it's home, dearie, home, and it's home I want to be My topsails are hoisted and I am out to sea The oak and the ash and the bonnie birchen tree Are all a-growing green in the North country And it's home, dearie, home And it's home I want to be My topsails are hoisted and I am out to sea The oak and the ash and the bonnie birchen tree Are all a-growing green in the North country And it's home, dearie, home And it's home, dearie, home And it's home, dearie, home
