Let me live again my childhood memories
I long to hear the same old songs
I want to meet once again
the friends that I've been missing so
Oh, I've been so long away,
still my heart cries every day
Take me back, take me back home to Mayo
I'll walk the streets of Castle Bar
Drop in to Moran's for a job
Friendly faces all around me I'll see
Then I'll hear a guitar strum
As the sing -song has begun
I long to hear the same old songs
I want to meet, once again,
the friends that I've been missing so
Oh, I've been so long away,
still my heart cries every day
Take me back, take me back home to me,
It seems like only yesterday
Leaving everything I love
But my cases are now packed
For each summer I go back, I go back,
I long to hear the same old songs
I want to meet, once again,
the friends that I've been missing so
Oh, I've been so long away,
still my heart cries every day
take me back home to Mayo
Oh, I've been so long away,
still my heart cries every day
take me back home to May o you
