Our ship she lies at anchor She's standing by the quay May fortune bright shine down each night As we sail across the sea Many ships have been lost, many lives it cost On this journey that lies before With a tear in my eye I'll say goodbye To Paddy's green shamrock shore
Oh, fare thee well to Ireland My own dear native land It's breaking my heart to see friends part For it's then that the tears do fall I'm on my way to Americae Will I e'er see home once more For now I leave my own true love And Paddy's green shamrock shore
Our ship she lies at anchor
She's standing by the quay
May fortune bright shine down each night
As we sail across the sea
Many ships have been lost, many lives it cost
On this journey that lies before
With a tear in my eye I'll say goodbye
To Paddy's green shamrock shore
Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore
Oh, fare thee well to Ireland
My own dear native land
It's breaking my heart to see friends part
For it's then that the tears do fall
I'm on my way to Americae
Will I e'er see home once more
For now I leave my own true love
And Paddy's green shamrock shore
