Verse 1
From D Derry quay, we sailed away, on the C 23rd G of D May
We were G boarded D by a pleasant crew bound for Ameri C cay.
Fresh G water D then we did take on, five thousand gallons or C more G
In D case we'd run short going to New York,
Far C away from the G Shamrock D shore.
Chorus:
So D fare thee well, sweet Liza dear, like C wise unto G Derry D town
And G twice fare D well to my comrades brave, who dwell on that sainted C ground.
If G fortune it D ever should favour me, and I to have money in C store, G
I'll go D back and I'll wed the sweet lassie I left
On C Paddy's green G Shamrock D shore.
Verse 2
We D sailed three days and were all sea sick,
Not a C man on G board was D free.
We were G all con D fined unto our bunks,
And no one to pity poor C me.
No G father D dear or mother kind
to hold up my head when t’was C sore.
Which D made me think more of the lassie I left
On C Paddy's green G Shamrock D shore.
Chorus
So D fare thee well, sweet Liza dear, like C wise unto G Derry D town
And G twice fare D well to my comrades brave, who dwell on that sainted C ground.
If G fortune it D ever should favour me, and I to have money in C store, G
I'll go D back and I'll wed the sweet lassie I left
On C Paddy's green G Shamrock D shore.
Verse 3
At D twelve o'clock we came in sight of C famous G Mullin D Head
And G Innistrochlin to the D right stood out on the ocean's C bed.
A G grander D sight ne'er met my eyes than e'er I saw C before
Than the D sun going down 'twixt sea and sky
Far C away from the G shamrock D shore.
Chorus
So D fare thee well, sweet Liza dear, like C wise unto G Derry D town
And G twice fare D well to my comrades brave, who dwell on that sainted C ground.
If G fortune it D ever should favour me, and I to have money in C store, G
I'll go D back and I'll wed the sweet lassie I left
On C Paddy's green G Shamrock D shore.
Verse 4
We D safely reached the other side,
After C three and G twenty D days.
We were G taken as D passengers by a man,
And led round in six different C ways.
So each G of us D drunk a parting glass,
In case we might never meet C more. G
And we D drank a health to old Ireland,
And C Paddy's green G Shamrock D shore.
Chorus x2
So D fare thee well, sweet Liza dear, like C wise unto G Derry D town
And G twice fare D well to my comrades brave, who dwell on that sainted C ground.
If G fortune it D ever should favour me, and I to have money in C store, G
I'll go D back and I'll wed the sweet lassie I left
On C Paddy's green G Shamrock D shore.
