Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore - The Wolfe Tones

Oh, fare the 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 way to Americay

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 at cost

On this journey that lies before

With a tear in my eye I’ll say goodbye

To Paddy’s green shamrock shore

So fare thee well, my own true love

I’ll think of you night and day

And the place in my mind

You surely will find

Although we’ll be far, far away

Though I’ll be alone far away from home

I’ll think of the good times once more

Until the day I can make my way

Back home to the shamrock shore

And now our ship is on the way

May heaven protect us all

With the winds in the sail we surely can’t fail

On this voyage to Baltimore

But my parents and friends did wait to the end

'Till I could see them no more

I then took a chance with one last glance

At Paddy’s green shamrock shore
