  2. A Song

    “When I rise in the morning and my heart full of woe”

    A Song.
    When I rise in the morning and my heart full of woe
    I'm thinking of old Erin and the County Mayo
    What shall become of me or where shall I go
    In the midst of all dangers I cry Och! oh no
    And I'm thinking of old Erin and the County Mayo.
    Nuair eirgheann sé maidin agus mé broónach ar nobigh
    Is mé ag coimhneamh ar Éire agus ar Chonndae Mhuigheó
    Tuarir chuimhnigh ar na gaobhtha is are mairgh leábhia bó
    Nuair luigheann sé ar mo leaba go Faider bedir
    Is mé ag cuimhreamh ar Éire agus an Chonndae Mhugheó.
    My Mammy got up, three hours before day.
    Johnny, lovely Johnny your going far away
    Your ship it is ready and well fitted for sail
    Your bound for New York City and sweet America
