Dear Little Shamrock Shore (acoustic)
The Irish Rovers
Verse 1 Twas the landlords that drove us from Ireland High rents were our prison walls Then the famine came round And blackened the ground And the auctioneers hammer did fall Farewell to the ones I adore And the land I will see never more For I'm saying goodbye With a tear in me eye To the dear little shamrock shore Verse 2 A ship lies in Fairbury harbour Barely safe over the foam But to Halifax town I soon will be bound Far away from me native home Farewell to the ones I adore And the land I will see never more For I'm saying goodbye With a tear in me eye To the dear little shamrock shore Verse 3 Well they all came to wish me safe journey The parting still grieves on me mind Me parents so dear Me friends far and near And the girl I left behind Farewell to the ones I adore And the land I will see never more For I'm saying goodbye With a tear in me eye To the dear little shamrock shore Verse 4 There's work to be had if your able The new world has treated me fine With me shovel and spade I toil at me trade But riches will never be mine Farewell to the ones I adore And the land I will see never more For I'm saying goodbye With a tear in me eye To the dear little shamrock shore Verse 5 Well rivers still run to the ocean The wee birds on feathered wings soar I dream of the day When home I will stray To the dear little shamrock shore Farewell to the ones I adore And the land I will see never more For I'm saying goodbye With a tear in me eye To the dear little shamrock shore
