Far Away Shores

Molly started crying Her tears running down Like a storm of a cold Irish sea Danny me boy are you so bound to go Don't you care for your mother and me Molly me dear the love of my life And I had no plan to leave ye behind I'm America bound where my fortune is found And I'll send for you both in good time If I never seen Ireland again I'll at least have the love of my family and friends Carry me safe to that far away shore If I never see Ireland again Handful of soil from my daddy's cold cold grave And a bag that holds all that I own All the folks say that the West is the way To this new land so cold and alone I think of you often I think of you my dear I think of my mother and my brothers over there And so often I wish I could go back But I have to do this now If I never seen Ireland again I'll at least have the love of my family and friends Carry me safe to that far away shore If I never see Ireland again
