;Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore ;Traditional . A G D A From Derry quay, we sailed away, on the twenty third of May . D A D A D G We were boarded by a pleasant crew bound for Americay . D A D A D G Fresh water there we did take on, five thousand gallons or more . A G D A In case we'd run short going to New York, far away from the Shamrock shore [Chorus] . A G D A So fare thee well, sweet Liza dear, likewise to Derry town . D A D A D G And twice farewell to me comrade boys, who dwell on that sainted ground . D A D A D G If fortune it ever should favour me, and I do have money in store, . A G D A I'll go back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left on Paddy's green shamrock shore [] . A G D A We sailed three days and were all sea sick, not a man on board was free . D A D A D G We were all confined unto our bunks, with no one to pity poor me . D A D A D G No father dear nor mother kind to hold up me head when t'was sore . A G D A Which makes me think more of the lassie I left on Paddy's green shamrock shore . A G D A We safely reached the other side, after three and twenty days . D A D A D G We were taken as passengers by a man, and led round in six different ways . D A D A D G So each of us drunk a parting glass, in case we might never meet more . A G D A And we drank a health to old Ireland, and Paddy's green shamrock shore [Chorus] . A G D A So fare thee well, sweet Liza dear, likewise to Derry town . D A D A D G And twice farewell to me comrade boys, who dwell on that sainted ground . D A D A D G If fortune it ever should favour me, and I do have money in store, . A G D A I'll go back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left on Paddy's green shamrock shore []
