paddy's green shamrock shore - crooked oak lyrics

from derry quay, we sailed away on the twenty*third of may
we were passengers of a pleasant crew, bound for amerikay
fresh water then we did take on, five thousand gallons or more
in case we run short, bound for new york
far away from me shamrock shore

so fare thee well, sweet liza dear, and likewise to derry town
and thrice farewell to me comrade boys that dwell on that sainted ground
if fortune ever should favour me or i’d havе money in store
i’ll come back and i’ll wеd the sweet lassie i left
on paddy’s green shamrock shore

we sailed three days, we were all seasick, not a man on board was free
we were all confined onto our bunks with no one to pity poor me
no father kind or mother dear would lift up my head when t’was sore
which made me think more, the lassie i left
on paddy’s green shamrock shore

so fare thee well, sweet liza dear, and likewise to derry town
and thrice farewell to me comrade boys that dwell on that sainted ground
if fortune ever should favour me or i’d have money in store
i’ll come back and i’ll wed the sweet lassie i left
on paddy’s green shamrock shore

we landed safely in new york after four and twenty days
we were taken on board by a man and set off in six different ways
we each of us raised up a parting glass in case we might never meet more
and we drank a bold health to old ireland
and paddy’s green shamrock shore
so fare thee well, sweet liza dear, and likewise to derry town
and thrice farewell to me comrade boys that dwell on that sainted ground
if fortune ever should favour me or i’d have money in store
i’ll come back and i’ll wed the sweet lassie i left
on paddy’s green shamrock shore
