Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

My mind it being much inclined to cross the raging main,
\nI left my tender parents in sorrow, grief and pain.
\nOn board the “Fame” we then became all passengers to be,
\nTo sail with Captain Thompson to the Land of Libertie.<\/p>\n

As we were safely sailing to a place called Newfoundland,
\nThe wind arose ahead of us and our ship was at a stand:
\n“All hands on deck” bold Thompson cried “Or we’ll be cast away,
\nAll firmly stand or you’ll never land in North Amerikay”.<\/p>\n

A mount of ice came moving down anear our gallant main,
\nBut the Lord of Mercy he was kind our lives for to maintain.
\nOur gallant sailors hauled about and so our ship did save,
\nOr we were doomed to be entombed all in a watery grave.<\/p>\n

When we were safely landed our faint hearts we did renew,
\nBut how could I sleep easy, Erin dear, so far from you.
\nI hope the time will come agi when our comrades all we’ll see,
\nAnd once more we’ll live together in love and unitie.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
