Paul Brady – Paddy’s Green Shamrock Shore Lyrics
Artist: Paul Brady
Song: Paddy’s Green Shamrock Shore
From Derry Quay we sailed away on the 23rd of May
We were boarded by a pleasant crew bound for Americay
Fresh water there we did take on, five thousand gallons or more
In case we’d run short going to New York far away from the Shamrock Shore
So fare thee well sweet Liza dear and likewise to Derry town
And twice farewell to me comrade boys who dwell on that sainted ground
If fortune it ever should favour me or I to have money in store
I’ll come back and I’ll wed the wee lassie I left on Paddy’s Green Shamrock Shore
Well we sailed three days and we were all seasick, not a man on board was free
We were all confined unto our bunks with no one to pity poor me
No father dear nor mother kind to hold up me head when t’was sore
Which made me think more on the lassie I left on Paddy’s Green Shamrock Shore
Well we safely reached the other side in three and twenty days
We were taken as passengers by a man and led round in six different ways
We each of us drank a parting glass in case we might never meet more
And we drank a health to Old Ireland and Paddy’s Green Shamrock Shore
So fare thee well sweet Liza dear and likewise to Derry town
And twice farewell to me comrade boys who dwell on that sainted ground
If fortune it ever should favour me or I to have money in store
I’ll come back and I’ll wed the wee lassie I left on Paddy’s Green Shamrock Shore
