[Verse 1]
D C G D
From Derry quay, we sailed away, on the 23rd of May
G D C
We were boarded by a pleseant crew bound for Americay.
G D C G
Fresh water there we did take on, five thousand gallons or more
D
In case we'd run short going to New York,
C G D
Far away from the Shamrock shore.
[Chorus]
D C G D
So fare thee well, sweet Liza dear, likewize to Derry town
G D C
And twice farewell to me comrade boys, who dwell on that sainted ground.
G D C G
If fortune it ever should favour me, and I do have money in store,
D
I'll go back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left
C G D
On Paddy's green shamrock shore.
[Verse 2]
D
We sailed three days and were all sea sick,
C G D
Not a man on board was free.
G D C
We were all confined unto our bunks, with no one to pity poor me.
G D C G
No father dear nor mother kind to hold up me head when t'was sore.
D
Which makes me think more ofthe lassie I left
C G D
On Paddy's green shamrock shore.
[Chorus]
D C G D
So fare thee well, sweet Liza dear, likewize to Derry town
G D C
And twice farewell to me comrade boys, who dwell on that sainted ground.
G D C G
If fortune it ever should favour me, and I do have money in store,
D
I'll go back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left
C G D
On Paddy's green shamrock shore.
[Verse 3]
D
We safely reached the other side,
C G D
After three and twenty days.
G D
We were taken as passengers by a man,
C
And led round in six different ways.
G D
So each of us drunk a parting glass,
C G
In case we might never meet more.
D
And we drank a health to old Ireland,
C G D
And Paddy's green shamrock shore.
[Chorus]
D C G D
So fare thee well, sweet Liza dear, likewize to Derry town
G D C
And twice farewell to me comrade boys, who dwell on that sainted ground.
