When Lewellen comes around, And he goes through market town
You'll be on the Celtic Ray, Are you ready
When McManus comes around, On his early morning round
Cryin' Herrin' Olay, You'll be on the Celtic Ray
Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales
I can hear those Mothers voices calling, Children, Children
When the coalbrick man comes around, On a cold November day
You'll be on the Celtic Ray, Are you ready, Are you ready
Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales
I can hear those Mothers voices calling, Children, Children, Children
Listen children, I wanna go home, Listen children, I wanna go home
I, Been away, From the Celtic Ray too long
I, Been away from the, Celtic Ray too long
All over Ireland, Scotland, England an' Wales
I can hear the Mothers voices calling
Children, Children, Come home children
Children, Come home, On the Celtic Ray
In the early mornin' we'll go walkin', where the light comes shinin' through
On the Celtic Ray
I, Come home children
I, Come home, On the Celtic Ray
