To Call Their First Home

Each person has somewhere for to call their first home Like to the New Yorker it is New York to the Athenian it is Athens and to the Roman it is Rome And no matter to where you travel to in the big World out there You will always meet people from some other where You will always meet people from big cities and towns far away Like Shanghai and and Montreal and Sydney and Bombay Or London or Rio, Berlin or Paris in France Where the late Charlie Chaplin taught the ladies to dance I cannot say i am a well traveled man But i have met people from Johannesburg and Tehran And people from Bali and Tokyo in Japan And people from Brussels and Kabul in Afghanistan We may be defined by creed, culture or race But whoever you are for you a first home-place The place where you first looked on the bright lamp of day You may well still live there or from there live far away You may be a homebody or you may have traveled far But you have a first home-place whoever you are Claraghatlea west of Millstreet Town was first home-place to me Suppose we are what we are and this is all we can be.
