On a fine and pleasant evening as my walks I did pursue The flowers were blooming fresh and fair they had that verdant hue And as Luna spread her golden rays disclosing many's the scene I overheard a youthful pair conversing on the green By the corncrake loudly calling they my footsteps did not here And the hawthorn proved my trusty friend and to them I drew near Till at last he broke the silence and these words to her did say O it's I am bound to sail away to far Columbia's shore On board of that great ship Brittanyi and strange countries I'll explore When she heard of his departure she her arms around him threw And the falling tears rolled down her cheeks and wet her locks like dew For it's when you reach Columbia's shore some pretty maids you'll find Dressed in their country's fashion you'll soon bear me from your mind O no, my dear where'er I roam a stranger's life to share I'll never forget the nights I spent with you round Carrowclare O no, my dear where'er I roam in foreign lands to toil I'll never forget the days we spent sailing round Lough Foyle Then he threw his arms around her saying if fortune should favour me In wedlock bands we'll join our hands when I return to thee And from Derry quay he sailed away on breezes fresh and fair And now he is in Amerikay far far from Carrowclare
