Hey Boy Blue, can't you hear all the noise. It's for you, all the town's waiting there. Let us go, there's a show like you ain't seen before Welcome home, where you been all these years, Look around, all the crowd is in tears, It's so good to see you in the streets of your town. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. I've seen bold knights, dropping down like flies, I've seen kings, rolling in the mire, I've seen God, point the finger of doom to our foes. I have fought in the holiest wars, I have smashed, some of the holiest jaws I've been jailed, been impaled, and been dragged through the world. One thing, I have learned through these years, Is that no man, should be stricken with fear It should be that he walks with no care in the world. So my friends, who are gathered here today, Hear this clear, for I'll not further say, That no man, shall cause me to take up arms again. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back. Hey Boy Blue is back.
