    All that love the shamrock

    All you that love the shamrock
    Attend both young and old,
    I feel it is my duty those lines for to enfold.
    Concerning those young emigrants
    That lately sailed away to seek and honest livelihood.
    In the lands of America

    On the eighteenth day of April
    Our gallant ship set sail, with forty five young Irish men.
    Sons of our Grainuaile.
    They landed safe all in New York.
    On the eighteenth day of May
    To meet their friends and relatives all in America
    iii
    Some of them met with acquaintances as soon as they did land
    With flowing glasses drank a health
    To dear old Ireland
