Drop them tools the time has come Shut up shop, we’re on the run Here we work our trade But home still has our hearts I swapped my cat for a kangaroo My tin whistle for a didgeridoo I know for way too long now, That we have been apart
So mama, put the kettle on Daddy’s fire burning strong Welcome back your boys, to the emerald isle And we’ll push back kitchen chairs Dance the night way without a care We’re coming home, home, home, for the Gathering
Our bags are packed, We’re on our way In the air for a day Every mile is worth it, Just to see you smile Call the neighbours, let them know We’re in town for another show It’s great to see you all again, if only for a while
Welcome, welcome, Come on in and close the door You’ve been gone, too long Welcome. You’re home once more
Welcome, welcome, Come on in and close the door You’ve been gone, too long Welcome. You’re home once more
