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

Well my name my friends is Lucky O’ Byrne
\nAnd I’ve come to say I’ve just arrived
\nLeft the Emerald Shore back in ’75
\nAnd I’ve God to thank that I’m still alive
\nThe potatoes had blight, we’d landlords to pay,
\nFame and fortune awaits in Americay
\nBut New York City was hot and the faces were cold
\nI headed out West in search of the gold<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nAnd the Wicklow Hills, late at night in my dreams
\nKeep calling me back to the Island of Green<\/p>\n

Then from town to town I wandered along,
\nHere’s a dollar O’Byrne and sing us a song
\nThen a song for a drink the bargain was made
\nTo sleep in street for my music was paid
\nSinging Molly Malone in a crowded saloon
\nWhen a man from the Coast said he’d take me along
\nNot a dime to my name, me ticket I drank,
\nFour hundred miles to go and the gargle to thank<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

San Francisco’s lights the destination to reach
\nTo my sister in Fairplay and her lesson to teach
\nThere I’ll stay off the drink the money I’ll earn
\nTo get to San Francisco where my lucks sure to turn<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Well my name my friends is Lucky O’Byrne
\nAnd I’ve come to say that I’ve just arrived
\nLeft the Emerald Shore back in ’75
\nAnd I’ve God to thank that I’m still alive.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
