the irish rovers - dear little shamrock shore lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
twas the landlords that drove us from ireland
the high rents were our prison walls
then the famine came ’round
and blackened the ground
and the auctioneer’s hammer did fall

[chorus]
farewell to the ones i adore
and the land i will see nevermore
for i’m saying goodbye
with a tear in me eye
to the dear little shamrock sh0r-

[verse 2]
a ship lies in fairbury harbor
barely safe over the foam
but to halifax town
i soon will be bound
far away from me native home

[chorus]
farewell to the ones i adore
and the land i will see nevermore
for i’m saying goodbye
with a tear in me eye
to the dear little shamrock sh0r-

[verse 3]
well they all came to wish me safe journey
the parting still grieves on me mind
me parents so dear
me friends far and near
and the girl i left behind

[chorus]
farewell to the ones i adore
and the land i will see nevermore
for i’m saying goodbye
with a tear in me eye
to the dear little shamrock sh0r-

[verse 4]
there’s work to be had if you’re able
the new world has treated me fine
with me shovel and spade
i toil at me trade
but riches will never be mine

[chorus]
farewell to the ones i adore
and the land i will see nevermore
for i’m saying goodbye
with a tear in me eye
to the dear little shamrock sh0r-

[verse 5}
well rivers still run to the ocean
wee birds on feathered wings soar
i will dream of the day
when home i will stray
to the dear little shamrock sh0r-

[chorus]
farewell to the ones i adore
and the land i will see nevermore
for i’m saying goodbye
with a tear in me eye
to the dear little shamrock sh0r-

[chorus]
farewell to the ones i adore
and the land i will see nevermore
for i’m saying goodbye
with a tear in me eye
to the dear little shamrock sh0r-

to the dear little shamrock sh0r-
