Yes it's so long since I've been home

Seems like there's no place to roam

Well I've sailed around the Horn

I've been from San Jose up to Baffin Bay

And I've rode out many a storm



Angelina, Angelina, please bring down your concertina

And play a welcome for me 'cause I'll be coming home from sea



Well I've heard the bawdy tunes

I've been in honky tonk saloons

I took my liquor by the vat

Well I stayed on call for a rousing brawl

Home was where I hung my hat



Angelina, Angelina, please bring down your concertina

And play a welcome for me 'cause I'll be coming home from sea



Now I've courted many a girl

I've been in ports all around the world

But my rambling days are done

I've been from Curacao up to Tokyo

And I've found there's only one



And she is Angelina, Angelina, please bring down your concertina

And play a welcome for me 'cause I'll be coming home from sea
