    When he heard the horn sound.

    “I am nearby broken hearted, Since I my true love parted”

    I am nearby broken hearted,
    Since I my true love parted,
    I'm going to share the blessings
    of the free.
    To brave those mighty waters
    that bore young Erin's Daughters
    Far from home and friends,
    and all thats dear to me.
    Chorus
    But now she's gone and left me
