Lyrics

I met my love in Passage West
The Sun was sinking down to rest
The river to the stars confessed
'Twas the dark haired woman I loved best
We wandered down by the chapel square
And there was magic in the air
And Mother Nature gently pressed
The burning river to her breast
I offered her a golden ring
My hand, my heart, and everything
I offered her a sweet love nest
By the flowing banks of Passage West
Oh love will ya go?
Will ya go? Will ya go?
Or love will ya stay?
Will ya stay? Will ya stay?
Oh love will ya go?
Will ya go? Will ya go?
Or love will ya stay?
Will ya stay? Will ya stay?
We watched the ferry come and go
We watched the river ebb and flow
The tide breathe in, the tide breathe out
We watched the Passage flowers grow
The ghostly farms of the hungry years
In sad procession did appear
With hope and sorrow made their way
For their Passage West to Amerikay
Oh love will ya go?
Will ya go? Will ya go?
Or love will ya stay?
Will ya stay? Will ya stay?
Oh love will ya go?
Will ya go? Will ya go?
Or love will ya stay?
Will ya stay? Will ya stay?
The Famine Queen stood tall and proud
On either bank the people bowed
From Passage West came a fenian yell:
"Rule Brittania, rule in Hell"
The grass grows green on the other side
And mighty ships sail out the tide
To far flung harbors across the sea
Far away from Passage, my love, and me
Oh love will ya go?
Will ya go? Will ya go?
Or love will ya stay?
Will ya stay? Will ya stay?
Oh love will ya go?
Will ya go? Will ya go?
Or love will ya stay?
Will ya stay? Will ya stay?
I met my love in Passage West
The sun was sinking down to rest
The river to the stars confessed
'Twas the dark haired woman I loved best
