Muirsheen Durkin Lyrics & Tabs by The Evergreens
Muirsheen Durkin
guitar chords lyrics
In the days I went a courtin' I was never tired resortin'
To an alehouse or a playhouse and many's the house beside
But I told me brother Seamus I'd be off and be right famous
And I'd never would return again 'til I'd roam the world wide
Goodbye Muirsheen Durkin sure I'm sick and tired of workin'
No more I'll dig the praties and no longer I'll be fooled
As sure as me name is Carney I'll be off to California
And instead of diggin' praties I'll be diggin' lumps of gold
I've courted girls in Blarney in Kanturk and in Killarney
In Passage and in Queenstown that is the Cobh of Cork
Goodbye to all this pleasure I'll be off to take me leisure
And the next time that you hear from me will be a letter from New York
So goodbye Muirsheen Durkin I'm sick and tired of workin'
No more I'll dig the praties, no longer I'll be fooled
As sure as me name is Carney I'll be off to California
So goodbye Muirsheen Durkin I'm sick and tired of workin'
No more I'll dig the praties, no longer I'll be fooled
As sure as me name is Carney I'll be off to California
And instead of diggin' praties I'll be diggin' lumps of gold
Goodbye to all the boys at home I'm sealing far across the foam
To try and make me fortune in far America
but there's gold and moneys in plenty for the poor and for the gentry
And when I come back again I never more will stay
Goodbye Muirsheen Durkin sure I'm sick and tired of workin'
No more I'll dig the praties and no longer I'll be fooled
For as sure as me name is Carney I'll be off to California
Where instead of diggin' praties I'll be diggin' lumps of gold
And instead of diggin' praties I'll be diggin' lumps of gold
