[verse 1]
when i came to this wonderful country
to complain i’d no reason at all
and being in very good humour
well, i often sang erin go bragh
when i landed in sweet philadelphia
the weather was warm and clear
but i did not stay long in that city
as you shall quickly hear

[chorus]
so fare you well father and mother
and likewise old ireland too
and fare you well sister and brother
so fondly i bid you adieu

[verse 2]
well, i did not stay long in that city
for it happened to be in the fall
and i never reefed sail in my riggin’
till i anchored upon the c~n~l
and when i arrived at the workings
i was filled with the greatest surprise
for to see such a fine undertaking
oh, the likes of it opened my eyes
[verse 3]
soon i learned for to be very handy
to use both the hammer and spade
there i learned the fine art of c~n~lling
and i find it an elegant trade
well i worked with a thousand brave navvies
we worked among mountains so tall
we were dragging a chain through the mountains
to strike a line for the c~n~l

[chorus]
so its fare you well father and mother
and likewise old ireland too
and fare you well sister and brother
so fondly i bid you adieu

[verse 4]
well, i worked with them there for a season
and my monthly pay i did draw
provisions they were there in plenty
to complain we’d no reason at all
we had money in every pocket
there was no one to hold me in thrall
i could handle a sprig of shillelagh
with the best man upon the c~n~l
[verse 5]
and at night when we’d rest from our labours
no rent to a landlord we paid
we could lay down the hammer and shovel
and likewise the pick and the spade
and we’d sit there and talk about ireland
we’d remember the hardships and all
if there’s happiness here in this wide world
then i’m sure it’s upon the c~n~l

[chorus]
so its fare you well father and mother
and likewise old ireland too
and fare you well sister and brother
so fondly i bid you adieu
