Far Away Shores

Molly started crying
Her tears running down
Like a storm of a cold Irish sea
Danny me boy are you so bound to go
Don't you care for your mother and me

Molly me dear the love of my life
and I had no plan to leave ye behind
I'm America bound where my fortune is found
and I'll send for you both in good time

If I never seen Ireland again
I'll at least have the love of my family and friends
Carry me safe to that far away shore
If I never see Ireland again

Handful of soil from my daddy's cold cold grave
And a bag that holds all that I own
All the folks say that the West is the way
To this new land so cold and alone
I think of you often I think of you my dear
I think of my mother and my brothers over there
And so often I wish I could go back
But I have to do this now

If I never seen Ireland again
I'll at least have the love of my family and friends
Carry me safe to that far away shore
If I never see Ireland again
