The Shamrock Shore

So, fare the well

My own true love

I think of you night and day.

Fare well to old Ireland

Good bye to you Banna Strand

No time to look back

Facing the wind

Fighting the waves

May heaven protect us all

From cold hunger and angry swans

Pray I won't be lost

Winds in the sails carry me safe

[Chorus:]

So, fare the well

My own true love

I'll think of you night and day

A place in my mind

You will surely find

Although I am so far away

And when I'm alone

Far away from home

I'll think of the good times once more

Until I can make it back

Some day

Here to Paddy's green shamrock shore

Out now on the ocean deep

Ships noise makes it hard to sleep

Tears fill up my eyes

The image of you

Won't go away

[Chorus]

New York is in sight at least

My heart it is pounding fast

Trying to be brave

Wishing you near

By my side

As one

[Chorus]
