My Green Valleys

Oh, the seagulls are calling
The wind is in the sail
And she’s fast moving out to the sea
On a ship bound for Saint John’s
Three thousand miles away
A human cargo, my comrades and me
Fare thee well, green valleys
God keep you the same
If in only my mind you’ll be
I’m sailing dark waters to far Americay
Never more my green valleys to see
It hurts me to think of the things I left behind
Though the famine has blackened the land
And to look now for something
That I may never find
Is a problem that’s now close at hand
Fare thee well, green valleys
God keep you the same
If in only my mind you’ll be
I’m sailing dark waters to far Americay
Never more my green valleys to see
There’s a fever a-ragin'
And the winds have died away
And the journey will no longer be
Though the plague is a shadow
That lingers night and day
Far across our green valleys I’ll be
Fare thee well, green valleys
God keep you the same
If in only my mind you’ll be
I’m sailing dark waters to far Americay
Never more my green valleys to see
Never more my green valleys to see
