And fare-thee-well, to Ireland, the land of my native home
It breaks my heart for to see friends part, for it's then the teardrops fall
I'm on my way to Amerikay,
will I ever see home once more
For I'm leaving behind the one I love
on Paddy's green shamrock shore.
repeat INTRO
then I took a chance, took one last glance
at Paddy's green shamrock shore
