The Emigrant's Farewell

Our ship, she is ready to sail away
 And it's come, my sweet comrades, o'er the stormy sea
 Her snow-white wings are all unfurled
 And soon will swim in a watery world
 Chorus (after each verse):
 Don't forget, love, do not grieve
 For my heart is true and cannot deceive
 My hand and heart I will give to thee
 So farewell, my love, and remember me
 Farewell, sweet Dublin's hills and braes
 To Killiney Mountain's silvery streams
 Where many's the fine long summer's day
 We loitered hours of joy away
 It's now I must bid a long adieu
 To Wicklow and its beauties, too
 Avoca's vales where lovers meet
 There to discourse in absence sweet
 Farewell, sweet Delgany, likewise the glen
 The Dargle waterfall and then
 The lovely scenes surrounding Bray
 Shall be my thoughts when far away
