lirik lagu frank harte - edward connors
[verse 1]
come all you brave young irishmen and listen to me a while
all you that want to emigrate and leave old erin’s isle
a friendly advice i will give you, which you should bear in mind
of how you’ll be forsaken when you leave your land behind
[verse 2]
edward connors it is my name, the same i will ne’er disown
i used to live in happiness near unto portglenone
i sold my farm, as you will hear which grieved my heart full sore
and i sailed away to amerikay and left the shamrock shore
[verse 3]
for my mind it was deluded by the letters that were sent
by those who off to canada some time ago had went
they said they and their friends lived there with work and wealth galore
and they laughed at our misfortune here back home on the shamrock shore
[verse 4]
so, with my wife and family to belfast i went down
and booked our passage on a ship that was bound for quebec town
my money it was running short when i had bought sea stores
but i thought our fortune it would be won when we reached the other shore
[verse 5]
when we were but three days at sea a storm it then arose
it stood our ship on its beam end, woke us from our repose
most of our sea stores were lost when the water in did pour
how happy then we would have been, back home on the shamrock shore
[verse 6]
nine more days we were at sea and our sea stores were all gone
we were left out on the raging deep with nowhere for to run
but for our captain’s kindliness when he freely gave us more
we would all have died of hunger ere we reached the other shore
[verse 7]
when we landed in quebec a sight it did meet our eyes
two hundred of our irishmen they did me sore surprise
with mournful lamentation for charity they did crave
and from what little that we had to them we freely gave
[verse 8]
we wandered all around quebec, oh, looking for work to find
my money it was running short which sorely grieved my mind
for i had friends when i had cash but none when i was poor
such friendship yet i had never met like this on the shamrock shore
[verse 9]
four more days i wandered around my money was almost gone
still hoping for employment but work i could find none
to find a place as was the case with many hundreds more
who sorely wished they were all at home, once more on the shamrock shore
[verse 10]
no prospect of employment, well, it caused me for to mourn
i had what would deliver us again for to return
on board of an irish vessel, then, we did embark once more
thank god we all alighted safe back home on the shamrock shore
[verse 11]
so come all who are intending now strange countries for to roam
just bear in mind you have as good as canada at home
before that you cross o’er the sea where the foaming billows roar
think of the happy times you’ve spent back home on the shamrock shore
