lirik lagu frank harte - sailing off to the yankee land
[verse 1]
all you young men, i pray draw near now
and give ear to the words i am going to say
i am going to tell you that the people of ireland
are emigrating to amerikay
ah, yes, indeed, they are emigrating
this poor country they can’t stand
they put their foot on board of a ship
well, they’re sailing off to the yankee land
and the night before they are due for leaving
all the neighbours in the house do throng
for to take a farewell glass
or otherwise to sing a song
well, they dance all night till early morning
each man cutting all around the floor
the mother she comes in, says, weeping
“see our children to the door”
the father looks around the cabin
he sees that he is all alone
surely his poor heart’s a~breaking
his salt tears would melt a stone
[chorus]
and, hurrah! for the gallant sons of erin
this poor country they can’t stand
they put their foot on board of a ship
well, they’re sailing off to the yankee land
[verse 2]
well, the other day as i went walking
down the road i chanced to go
i saw a crowd to me approaching
it surely filled my heart with woe
for i saw the carriage and coaches moving
onward, forward to the train
and the handkerchiefs were waving
bidding goodbye to granuaile
[chorus]
and, hurrah! for the gallant sons of erin
this poor country they can’t stand
they put their foot on board of a ship
well, they’re sailing off to the yankee land
[verse 3]
and when they get to new york harbour
friends will meet them with good cheer
saying, “how is old ireland and how is she doing
and how is she coming on this year?”
she’s the most distressed and cursed nation
in this world that e’er was seen
all they’re good for is process~serving
in that little isle of green
ah, yes, indeed they are emigrating
from the land they love so dear
and any man that isn’t married
well, the divil a wife he’ll get next year
[chorus]
and, hurrah! for the gallant sons of erin
this poor country they can’t stand
they put their foot on board of a ship
well, they’re sailing off to the yankee land
