Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore

歌詞

From Derry Quai we sailed away On the 23rd of May We were taken on board by a pleasant crew Bound for Americay Fresh water there we did take on Five thousand gallons or more In case we'd run short going to New York Far away from the Shamrock shore So fare thee well, sweet Lisa, dear And likewise to Derry town And twice farewell to my comrades bold Who still dwell on that sainted ground If ever fortune, it should favor me And I do have money in store Well, I'll come back and I'll wed the sweet lassie I left On Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore We sailed three days, we were all seasick Not one on board was free We were all confined to our bunks With no one to pity me No fond mother dear, our father kind To comfort my head went to sore This made me think more on the girl I left On Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore Well, we safely reached the other side In fifteen and twenty days We were taken as passengers by a man And he led us in six different ways So then we all drank a parting glass In case we'd never meet more And we drank our health to old Ireland And Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore So fare thee well, sweet Lisa dear And likewise to Derry town And twice farewell to my comrades bold Who still dwell on that sainted ground If ever fortune, it should favor me And I do have money galore Well, I'll come back and I'll wed the sweet lassie I left On Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore
