Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore Lyrics & Tabs by The Young Dubliners
Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore
guitar chords lyrics
And fare-thee-well, to Ireland, the land of my native home
It breaks my heart for to see friends part, for 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.
The ship she lies in anchor, standing by the quay
May fortune bright shine down each night, as we sail out over the sea
Many ships have been lost, many lives it cost
on the journey that lies before
With a tear in my eye I'm bidding good-bye
to Paddy's Green shamrock shore
So fare thee well my own true love, I'll think of you night and day
And a place in my mind you surely will find, although I am far away
Though I'll be alone far away from my home
So fare thee well my own true love, I'll think of you night and day
And a place in my mind you surely will find, although I am far away
Though I'll be alone far away from my home
I'll think of the good times once more
Until the day I can make my way back to
Paddy's green shamrock shore
And now the ship is on the wave may heaven protect us all
With the wind in our sail well we surely can't fail
on the voyage to Baltimore
my parents and friends they did wave till the end
till I could see them no more
then took a chance, took one last glance
at Paddy's green shamrock
