So fare thee well, my own true love
I'll think of you night and dayFarewell to old Ireland
Goodbye to you, boundless strand
No time to look back
Facing the wind, fighting the wavesMay Heaven protect us all
From cold, hunger, and angry squalls
Pray I won't be lost, wind in the sails
Carry me safeSo 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 here
To Paddy's green shamrock shoreOut 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 awaySo 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 here
To Paddy's green shamrock shoreNew York is in sight at last
My heart it is pounding fast
Trying to be brave, wishing you near
By my side as 'foreSo 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 here
To Paddy's green shamrock shoreUntil I can make it back someday
To Paddy's green shamrock shore
