And many's the house besides
C G
But I told me brother Seamus,
F C
I'd go off and be right famous,
C G
And I never would return again,
F C
Until I roamed the worldwide.
C G
Goodbye, Muirsheen Durkin,
F C
Sure I'm sick and tired of workin'
C G
No more I'll dig for praties,
F C
And no longer I'll be fooled

I'll be digging lumps of gold.

Goodbye to all this pleasure,
F C
I'll be off to take me leisure

will be a letter from New York.

Goodbye to the girls at home,
F C
I'm going far across the foam.
C G
To try and make me fortune,
F C
in far Amerikay.

There's gold and jewels and plenty,
F G
For the poor and for the gentry
C G
And when I return again,
F C
I never more will say:
