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

In the days I went a courting I was never tired resorting
\nTo an ale house or a playhouse and manys the house beside
\nI told my brother Seamus I’d go off and become famous
\nAnd I never would return again till I’d roam the world wide<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nGood bye Muirsheen I’m sick and tired of working
\nNo more I’ll dig the praties and no longer I’ll be fooled
\nAs sure and my name is Kearney I’ll be off to Californay
\nWhere instead of digging praties I’ll be digging lumps of gold<\/p>\n

I’ve courted girls in Blarney in Kanturk and in Killarney
\nIn Passage and in Queenstown that is the Cobh of Cork
\nGood bye to all this pleasure I’ll be off to take my leisure
\nAnd the next time that you’ll hear from me will be a letter from New York<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Good bye to all the girls at home I’m going far across the foam
\nTo try to make my fortune in far Americay
\nThere’s gold and jewels in plenty for poor and for the gentry
\nAnd when I return again I never more will stray<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

When I landed in Americay I met a man named Burke
\nHe told me if I stay a while He’d surely find me work
\nBut work he didn’t find me so there’s nothing here to bind me
\nI’m bound for San Francisco in Californiay<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

I’m now in San Francisco an me fortune it is made
\nMe pockets loaded down with gold I’ll throw away me spade
\nI’ll go back to dear ould Erin spend me fortune never carin’
\nAnd I’ll marry Queen Victory Muirsheen Durkin for to spite<\/p>\n
