The Leaving of Limerick
As I roved out one evening
Down by the Assembly Mall
I heard two lovers speaking
As me and my love passed on
But the words that passed between them
They were but very few
It's not the leaving of Limerick that grieves me
But my darling, leaving you
In the morning when I am going
I will take you by the lily-white hand
And I'll wave it o'er my shoulder
Saying adieu to the Limerick strand
So farewell to the boys of Thomond Gate
It's to them I'll bid Adieu
It's not the leaving of Limerick that grieves me
But my darling, leaving you
But now that we must be parted
I know that you will understand
Why I must go so broken-hearted
Far away from my native land
Though my fond love I must leave you
You know my heart is true
It's not the leaving of Limerick that grieves me
But my darling, leaving you
Down by the Assembly Mall
I heard two lovers speaking
As me and my love passed on
But the words that passed between them
They were but very few
It's not the leaving of Limerick that grieves me
But my darling, leaving you
In the morning when I am going
I will take you by the lily-white hand
And I'll wave it o'er my shoulder
Saying adieu to the Limerick strand
So farewell to the boys of Thomond Gate
It's to them I'll bid Adieu
It's not the leaving of Limerick that grieves me
But my darling, leaving you
But now that we must be parted
I know that you will understand
Why I must go so broken-hearted
Far away from my native land
Though my fond love I must leave you
You know my heart is true
It's not the leaving of Limerick that grieves me
But my darling, leaving you
