Chorus:   Westering home with a song in the air   Light of me eye and it's goodbye to care   Laughter and love are a welcoming there   Pride of me heart my own love       Tell me a tale of the orient gay   Tell me of riches that come from Cathay   Ah but it's grand to be waken at day   And find oneself nearer to Isla      Chorus      Where are the folks like the folks of the west   Canty and couthy and kindly, our best   There I would hide me and there I would rest   At home with my own folks in Isla      Chorus      Now I'm at home and at home I do lay   Dreaming of riches that come from Cathay   I'll hop a good ship and be on my way   And bring back my fortune to Isla      Chorus
