Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore

From Derry Quay we sailed away on the 23rd of May We were boarded 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 Liza dear and likewise to Derry town, And twice farewell to me comrade boys who dwell on that sainted ground If fortune it ever should favour me or I to have money in store I'll come back and I'll wed the wee Lassie I left on Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore Well we sailed three days and we were All seasick, not a man on board was free We were all confined unto our bunks with no one to pity poor me No father dear nor mother kind to hold up me head when t'was sore, Which made me think more on the lassie I left on Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore Well we safely reached the other side in three and twenty days We were taken as passengers by a man And led round in six different ways, We each of us drank a parting glass in case we might never meet more, And we drank a health to Old Ireland and Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore So fare thee well sweet Liza dear and likewise to Derry town And twice farewell to me comrade boys who dwell on that sainted ground If fortune it ever should favour me or I to have money in store I'll come back and I'll wed the wee Lassie I left on Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore I'll come back and I'll wed the wee Lassie I left on Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore
