W:I was by hunger pressed, and in poverty distressed, W:So I took a thought I'd leave the Irish nation. W: W:Chorus: W:Here's you boys, now take my advice W:to Americay I'll have yous not be coming W:there is nothing here but war, where the murdering cannons roar, W:and I wish I was at home in dear old Dublin. W: W:Chorus W: W:Well, I sold me horse and cow, my little pigs and sow W:My little plot of land I soon did part with W:And me sweetheart Bid McGee I'm afraid I'll never see W:For I left her there that morning broken hearted. W: W:Chorus W: W:Well, meself and a hundred more, to Americay sailed o'er W:Our fortunes to be made we were thinkin' W:When we got to Yankee land, they shoved a gun into our hands W:Sayin': "Paddy, you must go and fight for Lincoln." W: W:Chorus W: W:General Meagher to us he said, if you get shot or lose your leg W:Every single one of yous will get a pension. W:Well, myself I lost me leg, they gave me a wooden peg W:And by God this is the truth to you I mention. W: W:Chorus W: W:Now I think myself in luck if I get fed on Indian buck, W:and old Ireland, is the country I delight in. W:And the Devil I do say, it's curse Americay, W:For I think I've had enough of your hard fightin'. W: W:Chorus
