[00:01.16]Farewell to the groves
[00:03.65]
[00:05.00]Of shillelagh and shamrock
[00:08.43]
[00:10.32]Farewell to the wee girls
[00:14.01]
[00:15.08]Of old Ireland all 'round
[00:17.98]
[00:21.66]May their hearts be as merry
[00:24.45]
[00:25.80]As ever I would wish them
[00:29.77]
[00:32.16]When far far away across
[00:36.18]
[00:36.92]The ocean I'm bound
[00:39.52]
[00:43.66]Oh my father is old
[00:45.99]
[00:47.76]And my mother is quite feeble
[00:50.06]
[00:53.81]To leave their own country
[00:56.36]
[00:58.52]It grieves their heart sore
[01:00.68]
[01:04.38]Oh the tears in great drops
[01:07.11]
[01:08.68]Down their cheeks they are rolling
[01:11.87]
[01:15.81]To think they must die upon
[01:20.13]
[01:21.60]Some foreign shore
[01:22.56]
[01:31.42]But what matters to me
[01:33.92]
[01:35.50]Where my bones may be buried
[01:38.56]
[01:40.56]If in peace and contentment
[01:42.93]
[01:44.65]I can spend my life
[01:47.43]
[01:51.36]Oh the green fields of Canada
[01:54.31]
[01:55.83]They daily are blooming
[02:02.31]And it's there I'll put an end
[02:04.95]
[02:06.19]To my miseries and strife
[02:09.52]
[02:12.48]So pack up your sea stores
[02:16.08]
[02:17.55]And tarry no longer
[02:19.71]
[02:23.25]Ten dollars a week isn't very bad pay
[02:29.91]
[02:33.17]With no taxes or tithes
[02:35.11]
[02:37.30]To devour up your wages
[02:39.73]
[02:44.22]When you're on the green fields of America
[02:50.65]
[03:29.99]The sheep run unshorn
[03:32.61]
[03:34.15]And the land's gone to rushes
[03:36.95]
[03:39.07]The handyman is gone
[03:41.40]
[03:42.65]And the winders of creels
[03:45.73]
[03:49.82]Away across the ocean
[03:52.12]
[03:53.63]Go journeyman tailors
[03:56.27]
[03:58.34]And fiddlers that play out
[04:01.63]
[04:02.86]The old mountain reels
[04:05.57]
[04:08.90]Farewell to the dances
[04:11.43]
[04:13.76]In homes now deserted
[04:15.96]
[04:20.21]When tips struck the lightening
[04:22.37]
[04:24.23]In sparks from the floor
[04:26.46]
[04:30.17]The paving and crigging
[04:33.53]
[04:34.57]Of hobnails on flagstones
[04:37.50]
[04:41.72]The tears of the old folk
[04:44.88]
[04:46.08]And shouts of encore
[04:47.80]
[04:56.79]For the landlords and bailiffs
[04:59.07]
[05:00.55]In vile combination
[05:02.15]
[05:05.32]Have forced us from hearth stone
[05:08.19]
[05:10.99]And homestead away
[05:11.88]
[05:15.28]May the crowbar brigade
[05:17.87]
[05:19.32]All be doomed to damnation
[05:21.86]
[05:24.08]When we're on the green fields of America
[05:30.78]
[05:34.61]And it's now to conclude
[05:36.51]
[05:38.53]And to finish my story
[05:40.61]
[05:44.34]If e'er friendless Irishmen chance my way
[05:50.63]
[05:54.44]With the best in the house
[05:57.60]
[05:58.99]I will treat him and welcome
[06:02.06]
[06:06.02]At home in the green fields of America
