[N]
These are for you.
[Eb]
[N]
I'll be back for you.
Are you sure?
I will.
Alright.
I'll come back.
I promise love.
I will.
[Bb] Come Irishman, oh, who'll hear my song?
[Eb] Your fate is a mournful [Bb]
tale.
When [Eb] your rents are [Bb] behind, and [Bb] you're being taxed blind,
And [Eb] your crops have grown sickly and [Ab] failed,
[Eb] You'll abandon your [Bb] lands, and you'll wash your hands
Of all that has come [Eb] before.
[Bb] And you'll take to the sea, to a new country,
Far [Eb] from the [Eb] green [Bb] shamrock shore.
From Derricay we sailed away [Eb] on the twenty-third [Bbm] of May.
We [Eb] were [Bb] boarded by a pleasant crew bound for
[F] Americae.
[Eb] Fresh [Bb] water there we did take on five thousand gallons [Eb] or more,
In case we'd run [Bb] short on the way to New York,
[Eb] Far from the green shamrock [Bb] shore.
So fare thee well, sweet Lysa dear, [F] and likewise to
[Gm] Derricay [Bb] town,
And twice farewell to me Conrad boys who dwelt on that stinted ground.
[Eb] If fortune [Bb] should ever favour me, or I to have money in store,
[Eb] I'll [Bb] come back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left [F] on [Eb] Fanny's green shamrock [Bb] shore.
Well we [Eb] sailed in [Bb] three days, we were all seasick, not [Eb] a man on board was [Bb] free.
We [Eb] were each [Bb] of us taken unto our [Bb] bunks, and with no one to pity poor me.
[Eb] No father dear, no mother kind to hold my poor head when it [Bb] was sore,
Which made me think more on the lassie I left on [C] Fanny's [Eb] green shamrock shore.
So fare thee well, sweet Lysa dear, and [F] likewise to Derricay town,
And [Eb] twice [Bb]
farewell to me Conrad boys who dwelt on that stinted ground.
If fortune should ever favour me, or I to have money [Ab] in store,
I'll [Bb] come back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left [F] on Fanny's green shamrock [Bb] shore.
We finally reached the other side [Eb] in three and twenty [Bb] days.
We [Eb] were taken [Bb] as passengers by a man, and led round in six different [F] ways.
Then [Eb] we each of [Bb] us drank a parting glass, in case we should never [Eb] meet more.
And we drank a health [Bb]
[Bb] to a whole higher land, [Eb] and Fanny's green shamrock [Bb] shore.
So fare thee well, sweet Lysa dear, [Eb] and likewise to [Bb] Derricay town,
[Eb] And twice farewell to me Conrad boys who dwelt on that [Bb] stinted ground.
[Eb]
If [F] fortune should ever favour [Bb] me, or I to have money [Eb] in store,
