W:At the setting of the sun, when my daily work was done,
W:I rambled by the seashore for a walk.
W:And I being all alone, I sat down upon a stone
W:For to gaze upon the scenery of New York.
W:
W:Chorus:
W:Oh then Érin grá mo chroí you're the only land for me.
W:You're the fairest that my eyes did e'er behold.
W:You're the bright star of the west, the land Saint Patrick blessed.
W:You're the dear little isle so far away.
W:
W:It broke my mother's heart the day that I did part.
W:Will I ever see my dear folks anymore?
W:Not until my bones are laid in the cold and silent grave,
W:In my own native land so far away.
W:
W:It broke my mother's heart when from home I had to part.
W:Will I ever see my darling anymore?
W:Not until a judgement day when we both be far away,
W:In old Ireland far away o'er the foam.
W:
W:Chorus
W:
W:The turf will burn bright on the hearths at home tonight.
W:And the snow-flakes will fall fast a winter's day.
W:Saint Patrick's Day will come, and the shamrock will be wore,
W:In my own, my native land far away.
W:
W:Chorus
W:
W:On a cold, cold winter's night, with the turf fire burning bright
W:And the snowflakes falling on a winter's day
W:When St. Patrick's Day comes and the shamrocks will be worn
W:In the dear little isle so far away
W:
W:Chorus
