So fare thee well, my own true love

I'll think of you night and day

Farewell to old

IrelandGoodbye to you, boundless strand

No time to look back

Facing the wind, fighting the waves

May Heaven protect us all

From cold, hunger, and angry squalls

Pray I won't be lost, wind in the sails

Carry me safe

So fare thee well, my own true love

I'll think of you night and day

A place in my mind, you will surely find

Although I am so far away

And when I'm alone, far away from home

I'll think of the good times once more

Until I can make it back someday

To Paddy's green shamrock shore

Come now on the ocean deep

Ship's noise makes it hard to sleep

Tears fill up my eyes

The image of you won't go away

So fare thee well, my own true love

I'll think of you night and day

A place in my mind, you will surely find

Although I am so far away

And when I'm alone, far away from home

I'll think of the good times once more

Until I can make it back someday

To Paddy's green shamrock shore

New York is in sight at last

My heart it is pounding fast

Trying to be brave, wishing you near

By my side as 'fore

So fare thee well, my own true love

I'll think of you night and day

A place in my mind, you will surely find

Although I am so far away

And when I'm alone, far away from home

I'll think of the good times once more

Until I can make it back someday

To Paddy's green shamrock shore

Until I can make it back someday

To Paddy's green shamrock shore
