Muirsheen Durkin
In the days I went a courtin' I was never tired resortin' To an alehouse or a playhouse and many's the house beside But I told me brother Seamus I'd be off and be right famous And I'd never would return again 'til I'd roam the world wide
Goodbye Muirsheen Durkin sure I'm sick and tired of workin' No more I'll dig the praties and no longer I'll be fooled As sure as me name is Carney I'll be off to California And instead of diggin' praties I'll be diggin' lumps of gold
I've courted girls in Blarney in Kanturk and in Killarney In Passage and in Queenstown that is the Cobh of Cork Goodbye to all this pleasure I'll be off to take me leisure And the next time that you hear from me will be a letter from New York
So goodbye Muirsheen Durkin I'm sick and tired of workin' Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com No more I'll dig the praties, no longer I'll be fooled As sure as me name is Carney I'll be off to California And instead of diggin' praties I'll be diggin' lumps of gold
Goodbye to all the boys at home I'm sealing far across the foam To try and make me fortune in far America but there's gold and moneys in plenty for the poor and for the gentry And when I come back again I never more will stay
Goodbye Muirsheen Durkin sure I'm sick and tired of workin' No more I'll dig the praties and no longer I'll be fooled For as sure as me name is Carney I'll be off to California Where instead of diggin' praties I'll be diggin' lumps of gold And instead of diggin' praties I'll be diggin' lumps of gold
