Paddy's Green Shamerock Shore
From Derry Quai we sailed away On the 23rd of May We were boarded by a pleasant crew Bound for Americay
Fresh water there we did take in 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 comrade boys That dwell on the sainted ground
If fortune it ever should favour me I'll write to have money in store I'll come back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left Far away on the Shamrock Shore
When we'd sailed three days, we were all seasick Not a man onboard was free We were all confined onto our beds With no one to pity poor me
No father came, no mother dear Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com To lift up me head when blow sore Which made me to think of the lassie i left Far away on the Shamrock Shore
We safetly reached the other side Of the three and twenty days We were taken as passangers by a man And led round in six different ways
We each of us drank a parting glass And kissed like we'd never meet more And we drank a 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 comrade boys That dwell on the sainted ground
If fortune it ever should favour me I'll write to have money in store I'll come back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left On Paddy's green Shamrock Shore
