Dear Little Shamrock Shore The Irish Rovers

[Verse 1]
Twas the landlords that drove us from Ireland
The high rents were our prison walls
Then the famine came 'round
And blackened the ground
And the auctioneer's hammer did fall

[Chorus]
Farewell to the ones I adore
And the land I will see nevermore
For I'm saying goodbye
With a tear in me eye
To the dear little shamrock shore

[Verse 2]
A ship lies in Fairbury harbor
Barely safe over the foam
But to Halifax town
I soon will be bound
Far away from me native home

[Chorus]
Farewell to the ones I adore
And the land I will see nevermore
For I'm saying goodbye
With a tear in me eye
To the dear little shamrock shore
