Muirsheen Durkin |
In the days I went a-courtin', I was never tired resortin' |
To an alehouse or a playhouse and many’s the house beside |
But I told me brother Seamus, I’d go off and be right famous |
And I’d never would return again till I’d roam the world wide |
Goodbye Muirsheen Durkin, I’m sick and tired of workin' |
No more, I’ll dig the prates and no longer, I’ll be fooled |
As sure as me name is Carney, I’ll be off to Californy |
Where instead of diggin' prates, I’ll be diggin' 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 |
Goodbye to all me pleasure, I’ll be off to take me leisure |
And the next time that you hear from me will be a letter from New York |
Goodbye to all the girls at home, I’m going far across the foam |
To try and make me fortune in far America |
There’s gold and jewels in plenty for the poor and for the gentry |
And when I return again I never more will say |
