[Verse 1]
Well, I've roamed about this Earth
With just a suitcase in my hand
And I've met some bug-eyed Joes
I've met the blessed I've met the damned
But of all the strange, strange creatures
In the air, at sea, on land
Oh my girl, my girl, my precious girl
I love you, you understand

[Chorus]
So, reel me in, my precious girl
Oh come on, take me home
‘Cause my body's tired of travelling
And my heart don't wish to roam
Oh, no

[Verse 2]
I have wandered, I have rambled
I have crossed this crowded sphere
And I've seen a mess of problems
That I long to disappear
And all I have's this anguished heart
For you have vanished too
Oh my girl, my girl, my precious girl
Just what is this man to do?
[Chorus]
So, reel me in, my precious girl
Oh come on, take me home
‘Cause my body's tired of travelling
And my heart don't wish to roam
Yeah, reel me in, my precious girl
Oh come on, take me home
‘Cause my body's tired of travelling
And my heart don't wish to roam
Oh, no

[Verse 3]
Well, you took me in
You stole my heart
I cannot roam no more
Because love, it stays within you
It doesn't wash up on a shore
And a fighting man forgets each cut
Each knock, each bruise, each fall
But a fighting man cannot forget
Why his love don't roam no more

[Chorus]
Oh, reel me in, my precious girl
Oh come on, take me home
‘Cause my body's tired of travelling
And my heart don't wish to roam
Yeah, reel me in, my precious girl
Oh come on, take me home
‘Cause my body's tired of travelling
And my heart don't wish to roam

[Bridge]
Yeah, walk with me, my love, my love
Walk tall, walk proud, walk far
For you are my love, you are, you are
You are my shining star

Yeah, walk with me, oh, my love
Walk tall, walk proud, walk far
For you are my love, you are, you are
You are my shining star, you are, you are
Yeah!

[Chorus]
Reel me in, my precious girl
Come on, take me home
My body's tired of travelling
And my heart don't wish to roam

Reel me in, my precious girl
Come on, take me home
My body's tired of travelling
And my heart don't wish to roam
Reel me in, my precious girl
Come on, take me home
My body's tired of travelling
And my heart don't wish to roam

Reel me in, my precious girl
Come on, take me home
My body's tired of travelling
And my heart don't wish to roam
