[Verse 1]
In the days when I was courtin', I was seldom done resortin'
In the alehouse and the playhouse and many is the house between
I told me brother Seamus, I'll go off and get right famous
And when I come back home again, I'll have seen the whole wide world
[Chorus]
And it's goodbye, Muirshin Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
I'll no more dig the praties, I'll no longer be a fool
For as sure as me name is Carney, I am bound for California
Instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold
[Verse 2]
Farewell to all the girls at home, I'm bound away across the foam
Off to seek me fortune in far Amerikay
There's silver there aplenty for the poor and for the gentry
And when I come back home again, I never more will say
[Chorus]
And it's goodbye, Muirshin Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
I'll no more dig the praties, I'll no longer be a fool
For as sure as me name is Carney, I am bound for California
Instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold
[Chorus]
And it's goodbye, Muirshin Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
I'll no more dig the praties, I'll no longer be a fool
For as sure as me name is Carney, I am bound for California
Instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold
In the days when I was courtin', I was seldom done resortin'
In the alehouse and the playhouse and many is the house between
I told me brother Seamus, I'll go off and get right famous
And when I come back home again, I'll have seen the whole wide world
[Chorus]
And it's goodbye, Muirshin Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
I'll no more dig the praties, I'll no longer be a fool
For as sure as me name is Carney, I am bound for California
Instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold
[Verse 2]
Farewell to all the girls at home, I'm bound away across the foam
Off to seek me fortune in far Amerikay
There's silver there aplenty for the poor and for the gentry
And when I come back home again, I never more will say
[Chorus]
And it's goodbye, Muirshin Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
I'll no more dig the praties, I'll no longer be a fool
For as sure as me name is Carney, I am bound for California
Instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold
[Chorus]
And it's goodbye, Muirshin Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
I'll no more dig the praties, I'll no longer be a fool
For as sure as me name is Carney, I am bound for California
Instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold
