  1. (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.
