Happy St. Patrick’s Day<\/b>
\n<\/param><\/object>
Muirsheen Durkin (1968)<\/p>\n

In the days I went a courting, I was never tired of sporting
\nTo the alehouse and the playhouse and many’s the house besides,
\nSo I told me brother Seamus I’d go off and go right famous
\nAnd before I’d return again I’d roam the whole world wide.<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nSo goodbye, Muirsheen Durkin, I’m sick and tired of working,
\nNo more I’ll dig the praties, no longer I’ll be poor.
\nFor as sure as me name is Carney
\nI’ll be off to California, where instead of digging praties
\nI’ll be digging lumps of gold.<\/p>\n

I’ve courted girls in Blarney, in Kanturk, and in Killarney
\nIn Passage, and in Queenstown–that is, the Cobh of Cork.
\nBut goodbye to all this pleasure, for I’m going to take me leisure
\nAnd the next time that you hear from me
\nWill be a letter from New York.<\/p>\n

Goodbye to all the boys at home, I’m sailing far across the foam
\nTo try to make me fortune in far America,
\nFor there’s silver there aplenty for the poor man and the gentry
\nAnd when I do come back again I never more will stray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
