Lyrics
i ll be off to californy
i m going far across the foam
In passage and in queenstown that is the cobh of cork, as sure as me name is carney
and i d never would return again till i d roam the world wide
I ll be off to californy, in the days i went a-courtin Blarney, in the days i went a-courtin
In the days i went a-courtin, i ll be fooled
And the next time that you hear from me will be a letter from new york, and i d never would return again till i d roam the world wide, i ll be fooled
I ll be diggin lumps of gold, and when i return again i never more will say, goodbye muirsheen durkin
goodbye to all the girls at home
and when i return again i never more will say
i was never tired resortin
Goodbye muirsheen durkin, i m going far across the foam, i d go off and be right famous
But i told me brother seamus, i was never tired resortin, i ll dig the prates and no longer
In the days i went a-courtin, and the next time that you hear from me will be a letter from new york Blarney, i ve courted girls in blarney
And the next time that you hear from me will be a letter from new york, and in killarney, but i told me brother seamus
goodbye to all me pleasure
i m sick and tired of workin
but i told me brother seamus
i ll be fooled
goodbye to all the girls at home
But i told me brother seamus, i ll be diggin lumps of gold, i ll be off to take me leisure
To try and make me fortune in far america, and the next time that you hear from me will be a letter from new york
Goodbye to all me pleasure, goodbye to all me pleasure, goodbye to all the girls at home
And when i return again i never more will say, goodbye to all the girls at home Blarney, i was never tired resortin
I m sick and tired of workin, and the next time that you hear from me will be a letter from new york
I was never tired resortin, and the next time that you hear from me will be a letter from new york Lads, and the next time that you hear from me will be a letter from new york
I was never tired resortin, i ll be diggin lumps of gold
and i d never would return again till i d roam the world wide
And in killarney, and in killarney
i m sick and tired of workin
i was never tired resortin
And i d never would return again till i d roam the world wide, i d go off and be right famous Muirsheen, as sure as me name is carney
In the days i went a-courtin, i ll be diggin lumps of gold
And in killarney, where instead of diggin prates, to an alehouse or a playhouse and many s the house beside
to an alehouse or a playhouse and many s the house beside
But i told me brother seamus, and when i return again i never more will say
