When far, far away across the ocean I'm bound

Oh, my father is old, and my mother is quite feeble
D# Cm F Gm F
To leave their own country, it grieves their heart sore__

Oh, the tears in great drops, down their cheeks they are rolling

To think they must die upon some foreign shore

When you're on the green fields of Canada

A# F D# Gm
The sheep run unshorn, and the land's gone to rushes

The handyman is gone, and the winders of creels

Away across the ocean go journeyman tailors
A# Cm D# Gm
And fiddlers that play out the old mountain reels
[Verse 6]
D# Cm F Gm
Farewell to the dances in homes now deserted
D# Cm F Gm F
When tips struck the lightening in sparks from the floor
D# Cm D# Gm
The paving and crigging of hobnails on flagstones
D# Cm F Gm D# Gm D#
The tears of the old folk and shouts of encore
[Verse 7]
A# F D# Gm
For the landlords and bailiffs in vile combination
A# Cm D# Gm
Have forced us from hearthstone and homestead away

May the crowbar brigade all be doomed to damnation

When we're on the green fields of Canada

And it's now to conclude and to finish my story

And if e'er friendless Irishmen chance my way__
D# Cm D# Gm
With the best in the house, I will treat him and welcome
D# Cm F Gm D# Gm D#
At home in the green fields of Canada
