《Sicilian Born(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Sicilian Born (Live) - Graeme Connors

[00:00:19] He was Sicilian born a fisherman's son

[00:00:23] Came over in '23

[00:00:28] Worked like a dog for a couple of years

[00:00:33] Then sent for his family

[00:00:35] Well he worked on the docks and he worked on the railways

[00:00:40] He worked 'til his back was gone

[00:00:44] Bought a semi detached in Erskineville

[00:00:48] Moved in and paved the lawn

[00:00:54] His three boys grew and married

[00:00:58] Young blonde and blue eyed girls

[00:01:03] And soon enough there were grandkids coming

[00:01:07] To look in on his world

[00:01:11] And they were fair and blue eyed too

[00:01:15] And to him they all looked the same

[00:01:19] If Sicilian blood flowed through their lives

[00:01:23] You'd only know it by their last name

[00:01:30] And he never talked in his native tongue

[00:01:34] And he never talked about going home

[00:01:38] And he told me once the reason why

[00:01:42] He said home's not where you're born

[00:01:48] Home is where a man's prepared to die

[00:01:55] He outlived his wife Maria she died in '82

[00:02:05] And for a long time after he was lost for what to do

[00:02:13] He'd sit alone at the window and doze the days away

[00:02:21] So I didn't see him much anymore unless he happened to wave

[00:02:32] Still he never talked in his native tongue

[00:02:36] And he never talked about going home

[00:02:41] And he told me once the reason why

[00:02:45] He said home's not where you're born

[00:02:50] Home is where a man's prepared to die

[00:03:15] Well I went up north on a two week spell about a month ago

[00:03:23] And to my surprise when I came home I found his place had sold

[00:03:32] I called the other neighbours to find out where he's gone

[00:03:39] They say he packed up and just went back to wherever he came from

[00:03:51] And he never talked in his native tongue

[00:03:56] And he never talked about going home

[00:04:00] And he told me once the reason why

[00:04:04] He said home's not where you're born

[00:04:09] Home's not where you're born

[00:04:13] Home is where a man's prepared to die

[00:04:21] And he never talked in his native tongue

[00:04:25] And he never talked about going home

[00:04:30] And he told me once the reason why

[00:04:34] He said home's not where you're born

[00:04:39] Home is where a man's prepared to die
