When the boys come rolling home lyrics and chords by Tommy Sands
Lyrics and chords fit Tommy Sands on his album ‘Beyond The Shadows’ , the youtube video is by The Dubliners with Sean Cannon on vocals. Sean sings sailing out of ''Dublin''. The song was originally written as sailing out of ''Belfast''. It's not uncommon for this to happen, there's two other songs on the site that got their names changed , one being Belfast Mill which originally was called Argon Mill. Another is The Old Dungarvan Oak which originally was called The Old Carmarthen Oak. This song was also recorded by The Dubliners with Sean Cannon singing. The title of this song is a line from the lyrics of The Boys Of Killybegs Song by Tommy Makem.
