Now the autumn leaves are falling, and tourists have all gone
And the children they have all gone back to school
And my life is as it was before, I work eight hours a day
But the company's still making all the rules
There's a girl in Massachusetts, south of Boston town she said
And her lovely face is with me all the day
But I met her down in old Tralee, golden hair upon her head
Well I took her heart, and she stole mine away

Goodbye my Boston beauty, Farewell my Boston Rose
I'll wait for you, I'll think of you
No threat to you I'll pose
Goodbye my Boston beauty, Farewell my Boston Rose
I wish that you were here
But I know that's the way life goes

There's a song we sang all summer in the bars of Innis town
I can here it on the factory radio
And the feelings I remember when hear that simple tune
Make me wonder if it really happened so
For we laughed and loved together
'Til the summer days were done
And she had to fly across the ocean wide

Well, goodbye my Boston beauty
Until we meet again
And I'll keep the fire burning deep inside

Goodbye my Boston beauty, Farewell my Boston Rose
I'll wait for you, I'll think of you
No threat to you I'll pose
Goodbye my Boston beauty, Farewell my Boston Rose
I wish that you were here
But I know that's the way life goes

Well some nights when I'm drinking, and my friends have gathered round

Well just for fun some one brings up your name
Well I smile there with the rest of them, but I can't hear a sound
I love you but to them its all the same
At nights when I'm alone my alone my love, you come into my mind
And visions flash upon that inner eye
Well I watch that moon there up above then I leave this earth behind
And I call to you as I go sailing by

Goodbye my Boston beauty, Farewell my Boston Rose
I'll wait for you, I'll think of you

No threat to you I'll pose

Goodbye my Boston beauty, Farewell my Boston Rose
I wish that you were here
But I know that's the way life goes
I wish that you were here
So farewell my Boston Rose
