Back Home In Derry
In 1803 we sailed out to sea
Out from the sweet town of Derry
For Australia bound

The marks of out fetters we carried
On our rusty iron chains we cried for out weans
Our good women we left in sorrow
As the main sails unfurled, wild curses we hurBlack Is The Colour - Paddy Goes To Holyhead[Songtekst]

Oh Bridget O´Malley

City Of Chicago
In the city of Chicago
As the evening shadows fall
There are people dreaming
Of the hills of Donegal
Eighteen forty seven
was the year it all began
Deadly pains of hunger
Drove a million from the land
They journeyed not for glory
Their motive wasn´t greed

a Come Day, Go Day - Paddy Goes To Holyhead[Songtekst]
Come day, go day
twenty-four hours
You can make your own way night and day
Come day, go day

You couldn’t make your way
You’ve just left school
futurity is blown, now
You while away your days

I was born in a Dublin street
where the royal drums do beat
And the loving English feet

And each day and every night
when me father comes home tight
He´d invite the neighbours
outside with his chorus
Come let me hear you tell

Crooked Jack - Paddy Goes To Holyhead[Songtekst]
Come Irishmen both young and stern
With adventure in your soul
There are better ways to spend your days
Than in working down a hole
I was tall and true, all of 6 foot 2
But they broke me across the back
By a name I'm known and it's not my own
For they call me Crooked Jack

My heart is sad oh I'm so lonely thinking of the one I love

until the day I saw her walking "another man, another life" said she
Bury me in young green meaDesiree - Paddy Goes To Holyhead[Songtekst]
There was a queen down in Amsterdam dressed up in silk and black negligee
After the tempest she is so calm no one comes near her serenity
She once had a house down in Hollywood living her life was a fantasy
Now she has cooled off her red hot blood now she sits down drinking perfume tea

Dirty Old Town
I met my love, by the gasworks-wall
Dreamed a dream, by the old canal
I kissed my girl, by the factory wall

Clouds are drifting, across the moon
Cats are crawling, all along the beat
Springs a girl, from the steets at night

Down By The Glenside
´Twas down by the glenside
I met an old woman
She was picking young nettles
and she scarce saw me coming
I listened a while

´Tis fifty long years
since I saw the moon beaming
On strong manly fo
It was down by the Sally Gardens
my love and I did meet
She crossed the Sally Gardens
with little snow-white feet
She bid me take love easy
as the leaves growo n the tree
But I was young and foolish
and with her did not agree
In a field down by the river
my love and I did stand
And on my leaning sh
Far Away - Paddy Goes To Holyhead[Songtekst]
Far away the river flows forever on
the sun goes down and the waves roll back the tide

All is done that may be done I stand across the main
I’ll bet all my money there’s no way back again
a chance as good as any I’m gl

As I roved by the dockside
one evening so rare
To view the still waters
and take hte salt air
I heard an old fisherman

Dress me up in me oilskin and jumper
No more on the docks I´ll be seen

Finnegan's Wake
Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin Street
A gentleman Irish mighty odd
Well he had a tongue both rich and sweet
An´ to rise in the world he carried a hod
Ah but Tim had a sort of tipplin way
With the love of the liquor he was born
And to send him on his way each day

Starring to the sea that's all I ever wanted
So much pain inside Now I can leave it al behind
I've never seen such a sgiht before
Raging waters and the green grass
Changing colors of the leafy trees I'm like drawn
Drawn into a fascinating world
Fly like a seagull to my island to my home
Follow Me Up To Carlow
Lift MacCahir Og your face
brooding o´er the old disgrace
That Black Fitzwilliam stormed your place
and drove you to the fern

Untill he met at Glenmalure

From Clare To Here
Well there´s four who share the room
and we work hard for the crack

Geordie
As I walked out over London Bridge
One misty morning early
I overheared a fair pretty maid
Lamenting for her Geordie
"Ah, my Geordie will be
hanged in a golden chain
It´s not the chain of many
He was born of King´s royal breed
And lost to a virtuous lady"

Go To Sea No More
When first I landed in Liverpool
I went upon the spree
My money at last, I spent it fast
got drunk as drunk could be
And when me money was all gone
it was then I wanted more
But a man must be blind
to make up his mind
to go to sea once more
I spent that night with God Save Ireland - Paddy Goes To Holyhead[Songtekst]
God Save Ireland
High upon the gallows tree
swung the noble-hearted Three
By the vengeful tyrant
stricken in their bloom
But they met him face to face
with the courage of their race
And they went with souls
undaunted to their doom
Girt around with cruel foes
still their courage prouHenry Joy - Paddy Goes To Holyhead[Songtekst]
Henry Joy
An Ulsterman I am proud to be
From the Antrim Glens I come
Although I labour by the sea
I have followed flag and drum
I have heard the martial tramp of men
I´ve seen them fight and die
Ah, lads, I well remember when
I followed Henry Joy
I pulled my boat up from the sea

Chorus:
So, here’s to the people, a long way they come
The emigrant races from merciless places are run
They don’t believe what government said
They don’t like to wait until they’re dead
For thousands of reasons many have fled
From animosity and bloodsheed

Hobo Train - Paddy Goes To Holyhead[Songtekst]
Today it began to rain I jumped upon a rolling train
They call me Hobo Jack by name I couldn't cure the fever
Hurry up the engine lad hurry up the train I said

Irish Ways And Irish Laws
Once upon a time there was

They tried to change our living

She is courting one, two, three

So as you walk down the street

Six o´ clock it´s getting late
The moon is rising and the sticky dew

With your rfile on your shoulder

Listening to the boot-heels hit the sod
Smokin your cigar as you
