Lyrics

The ship it sails in half an hour to cross the broad Atlantic
My friends are standing on the quay with grief and sorrow, frantic
I'm just about to sail away on the good ship Dan O'Leary
The anchor's weighed and the gangway's up, I'm leaving Tipperary
So goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat, goodbye Kate and Mary
The anchor's weighed and the gangway's up, I'm leaving Tipperary
And now the steam is blowing off, I can no longer stay
I'm bound for New York City, boys, three thousand miles away
In my portmanteau, here I have some cabbage, beans, and bacon
And if you think I can't eat that, well, there's where yer mistaken
For this ship will play with pitch-and-toss for half a dozen farthings
I'll roll me bundle on me back and walk to Castle gardens
So goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat, goodbye Kate and Mary
The anchor's weighed and the gangway's up, I'm leaving Tipperary
And now the steam is blowing off, I can no longer stay
I'm bound for New York City, boys, three thousand miles away
Now I won't come that Yankee chat, I guess I'm calculatin'
Come liquor up old sonny boy, when an old friend I am treatin'
I'm deep in love with Molly Burke like an ass is fond of clover
I'll send for her when I get there, that's if she will come over
So goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat, goodbye Kate and Mary
The anchor's weighed and the gangway's up, I'm leaving Tipperary
And now the steam is blowing off, I can no longer stay
I'm bound for New York City, boys, three thousand miles away
So fare thee well, old Erin dear, to part me heart does ache well
From Carrickfergus to Cape Clear, I'll never see your equal
Nor quit this land where whiskey grew to wear the Yankee button
Take vinegar for Mountain Dew and toads for Mountain mutton
So goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat, goodbye Kate and Mary
The anchor's weighed and the gangway's up, I'm leaving Tipperary
And now the steam is blowing off, I can no longer stay
I'm bound for New York City, boys, three thousand miles away
So goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat, goodbye Kate and Mary
The anchor's weighed and the gangway's up, I'm leaving Tipperary
And now the steam is blowing off, I can no longer stay
I'm bound for New York City, boys, three thousand miles away
I'm bound for New York City, boys, three thousand miles away
