Verse: 1 Oh the big ship's a sailing far across the ocean Fare thee well lovely Annie I bid you a-dieu And I cant return where small birds are nesting Or take you dear Annie and make you my bride Verse: 2 You remember dear Annie when we walked on the mountain And we saw all those young men a marching away To fight for her country and free her from bondage When I left you dear Annie I went with them that day Verse: 3 We fought hard through winter and many died bravely 7 And we thought of our loved ones, our country unfree And my heart nearly broke when I thought of the mountain Where I held you in my arms on that warm summer's day Verse: 4 But our names they were given by a Judas informer I remember his face, he fought right beside me I was given the assignment to kill him one evening And bury his body in the deep flowing sea Verse: 5 So now you know Annie why I must leave you And why I can't take you and make you my bride For I am in danger and fear every stranger In village and city who walks by my side Verse: 6 So come with me Annie once more to the mountain And walk with me slowly to the ship by the sea And let me carress you and kiss you and bless you For ever and always you'll be dearest to me Verse: 7 Farewell to my homeland, my parents and comrades The brave men who died and fought beside me To the mountains and valleys, the green fields of Erin May the young men of Ireland bring you liberty
