| Very difficult to make out some of the lyrics, but maybe someone else can fill |
| in the gaps. |
| The tune is traditional — I’m sure I’ve heard the late Michael O’Dhomhnaill |
| sing a song in Gaelic to the same melody, either with the «Bothy Band» |
| or when he was in a duo with Kevin Burke. |
| I’ll try to track that down. |
| The Polydor record label credits words to «E, Furey, D. Arthur». |
| «Emigrant» |
| «When sweet they do arise |
| And you hear that sounds of butterflies |
| Or the spirit of some rose |
| Or the echo of that It is the hour I leave this place |
| Made fair by you and you alone |
| So here’s Godspeed one last embrace |
| Way down below them stepping stones. |
| And in that stream long leaf flowers weep |
| Way down below that strand |
| Like between a rainbow and the sun |
| My boat sets seaward from the land |
| And love may come and love may go |
| Just like that bird from tree to tree |
| But when she sleeps, her heart I know |
| Will wander with me on the sea" |
