Ye sons and fair daughters of Erin’s green isle
I pray stand attention and listen awhile
Our sons and fair daughters they are all going away.
In thousands they’re leaving for America.Their friends all do gather and the neighbours also
Their trunks are all packed up just ready to go
And the tears from their eyes they fall down like the rain
When the horses are leaving going off for the train.When they reach the station you can hear their last cry
Their handkerchiefs waving and bidding goodbye.
Their parents will tell them to be sure for to write
And they all watch the train till it goes out of sight.When they reach the steamer after leaving the strand
They give one last look round at their own native land
Saying our hearts they are breaking at leaving they shore
And goodbye to old Ireland shall I ever see you more.So good luck to those people and safe may they land
They are leaving their homes for a far distant land
And here in old Ireland no longer can stay
In thousands they’re sailing for America.
