Back To Barry Town

Since the day that I left home my youth to squander I took the path of women wine and song I've lived the high life and the low life as I've wandered From the red lights of Amsterdam to Suzy Wong's Over seven seas I've traveled Thrown six sixes on the razzle I've had my five senses dazzled On the four winds blown Had three wishes used them poorly Watched two decades flash before me Now there's only one thing for my I'm going home I'm going back to Barry town I'll find a Barry girl and settle down I'll go to sea no more, no more to roam It may not look like much but it's home I've drunk ice cold in Alex and in Dover I've survived the slings of Singapore But that part of my life will soon be over I'll never walk down Lime Street anymore I've seen sights across the ocean Tasted tasty toxic potions Felt the force of storms in motions Through my aching bones Smelled success from lucky choices Heard the sirens lusty voices Sense my lucky charm rejoices that I'm going home I'm going back to Barry town I'll find a Barry girl and settle down I'll go to sea no more, no more to roam It may not look like much but it's home So it's Barry docks instead of Sydney harbour Keep Copenhagen it's the Colcut where I'll be Not Puerto Mont but Porth Kerry ever after And Cadoxton's far east enough for me I'm going back to Barry town I'll find a Barry girl and settle down I'll go to sea no more, no more to roam It may not look like much but it's home I'm going back to Barry town I'll find a Barry girl and settle down I'll go to sea no more, no more to roam It may not look like much but it's home
