    “You brave Irish people Where e're ye may be,”

    1.
    You brave Irish people
    Where e're ye may be,
    I pray stand a moment
    And listen to me
    About your sons and fair daughters
    Are going far away
    And thousands are sailing
    To America.
    II.
    Oh the night before leaving,
    We bid the neighbours good bye,
    And early next morning,
    Our hearts gives a sigh,
    We kiss our mothers
    And those words we say
    Good bye dearest father
    I am now going away.
