Goodbye Mick

Lyrics
The ship it sails in half an hour to cross the broad Atlantic Me friends are standing on the quay with grief and sorrow frantic I'm just about to sail away in the good ship Dan O'Leary The anchors away and the gangway's up I'm leaving Tipperary And it's goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat and goodbye Kate and Mary The anchors away and the gangway's up I'm leaving Tipperary And now the steam is blowing off I have no more to say I'm bound for New York City boys three thousand miles away In my portmanteau here I have some cabbage beans and bacon And if you think I can't eat that well there's where you're mistaken For the ship will play with pitch and toss for a half a dozen farthings I'll roll me bundle on my back and walk to castle gardens Now won't I come that Yankee chat I guess I'm calculating Some liquor up old sonny boy when an old friend I am treating I'm deep in love with Molly Bourke like an a*s is fond of clover I'll send for her when I get there that's if she will come over And it's goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat and goodbye Kate and Mary The anchors away and the gangway's up I'm leaving Tipperary And now the steam is blowing off I have no more to say I'm bound for New York City boys three thousand miles away Then fare thee well old Erin dear to part me heart does ache you From Carrickfergus to Cape Clear I'll never see your equal Although to foreign parts we're bound where cannibals may eat us We're ne'er forget the holy ground the poitin and potatoes And it's goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat and goodbye Kate and Mary The anchors away and the gangway's up I'm leaving Tipperary And now the steam is blowing off I have no more to say I'm bound for New York City boys three thousand miles away When good Saint Paddy banished snakes he shook them from his garment He never thought we'd go abroad to live upon such vermint Nor quit this land where whiskey grew to wear the Yankee button Take vinegar for mountain dew and toads for mountain mutton And it's goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat and goodbye Kate and Mary The anchors away and the gangway's up I'm leaving Tipperary And now the steam is blowing off I have no more to say I'm bound for New York City boys three thousand miles away
