"Westering Home" is performed by Jolly Rogers.<br>
<br>
Chorus:<br>
Westering home with a song in the air<br>
Light of me eye and it's goodbye to care<br>
Laughter and love are a welcoming there<br>
Pride of me heart my own love [or:<br>
Isle of heart, my own one]<br>
Tell me a tale of the orient gay<br>
Tell me of riches that come from Cathay<br>
Ah but it's grand to be waken at day<br>
And find oneself nearer to Isla<br>
Chorus<br>
Where are the folks like the folks of the west<br>
Canty and couthy and kindly, our best<br>
There I would hie me and there I would rest<br>
At hame wi' my ain folks in Isla<br>
Chorus<br>
Now I'm at home and at home I do lay<br>
Dreaming of riches that come from Cathay<br>
I'll hop a good ship and be on my way<br>
And bring back my fortune to Isla<br>
Chorus<br>
