Oh, the seagulls are calling
The wind is in the sail
And she's fast moving out to the sea
On a ship bound for Saint John's
Three thousand miles away
A human cargo, my comrades and me
[Chorus]
Fare thee well, green valleys
God keep you the same
If in only my mind you'll be
I'm sailing dark waters to far Americay
Never more my green valleys to see
It hurts me to think of the things I left behind
Though the famine has blackened the land
And to look now for something
That I may never find
Is a problem that's now close at hand
[Chorus]
Fare thee well, green valleys
God keep you the same
If in only my mind you'll be
I'm sailing dark waters to far Americay
Never more my green valleys to see
The wind is in the sail
And she's fast moving out to the sea
On a ship bound for Saint John's
Three thousand miles away
A human cargo, my comrades and me
[Chorus]
Fare thee well, green valleys
God keep you the same
If in only my mind you'll be
I'm sailing dark waters to far Americay
Never more my green valleys to see
It hurts me to think of the things I left behind
Though the famine has blackened the land
And to look now for something
That I may never find
Is a problem that's now close at hand
[Chorus]
Fare thee well, green valleys
God keep you the same
If in only my mind you'll be
I'm sailing dark waters to far Americay
Never more my green valleys to see
