- (continued from previous page)To live by labour I did try and I got but little pay.
Provisions high and wages low
I couldnt maintain and to earn an honest living
I was forced across the main
Chorus
So I parted from the shore
Old Ireland your darling and I will always you adore.
The music of my heart and joy recalls to part
Back to the Green fields of Erin.- Informant
