the bonny irish boy - the green fields of america lyrics

Loading...

his name i love to mention, in ireland he was born
i loved him very dearly, but alas, from me he’s gone
he’s gone to america and he promised to send for me
but the face of my bonny young irish boy i can no longer see

it was in the city of derry a place of note and fame
where first my bonny young irish boy a*courting to me came
he told me pleasant stories and said his bride i’d be
but the face of my bonny young irish boy i can no longer see

well i paid for passage for new york, and on arrival there
to seek and find my irish boy i quickly did prepare
i searched new york and providence and boston all around
but the face of my bonny young irish boy was nowhere to be found

[instrumental break]

while i search through philadelphy, and then to baltimore
i searched the state of maryland, i searched it o’er and o’er
i pray that i might find him wherever he may be
but the face of my bonny young irish boy i can no longer see

one night as i lay in my bed, i dreamt i was his bride
a*sitting on the bluebell hill, and he sat by my side
a*gathering of primroses as we did in days of yore
i awoke quite broken*hearted in the city of baltimore
[instrumental break]

and early the next morning, a knock came to my door
i heard his voice, i knew it was the lad i did adore
i hurried fore to let him in, i never felt such joy
and i fell into the arms of my bonny young irish boy

now that we are married he never will go to sea
because i love him dearly, i’m sure that he loves me
my first sweet son is called for him, is my darling boy
he’s the picture of his father, my bonny young irish boy

[instrumental outro]
