In the days I went a courting, I was never tired of sporting \\
|
||
|
|
To the alehouse and the playhouse and many's the house besides, \\
|
||
|
|
So I told me brother Seamus I'd go off and be right famous \\
|
||
|
|
And before I'd return again I'd roam the whole world wide. \\
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\textit{[Chorus] \\
|
||
|
|
So goodbye, Muirsheen Durkin, I'm sick and tired of working, \\
|
||
|
|
No more I'll dig the praties, no longer I'll be poor. \\
|
||
|
|
For as sure as me name is Carney \\
|
||
|
|
I'll be off to California, where instead of digging praties \\
|
||
|
|
I'll be digging lumps of gold. \\}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've courted girls in Blarney, in Kanturk, and in Killarney \\
|
||
|
|
In Passage, and in Queenstown--that is, the Cobh of Cork. \\
|
||
|
|
But goodbye to all this pleasure, for I'm going to take me leisure \\
|
||
|
|
And the next time that you hear from me \\
|
||
|
|
Will be a letter from New York. \\
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\textit{[Chorus] \\}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Goodbye to all the boys at home, I'm sailing far across the foam \\
|
||
|
|
To try to make me fortune in far America, \\
|
||
|
|
For there's silver there aplenty for the poor man and the gentry \\
|
||
|
|
And when I do come back again I never more will stray. \\
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\textit{[Chorus] \\}
