作曲：Traditional

Ye lovers all both great and small who dwell in Ireland

Oh I pray you pay attention whilst I my pen command

It was my father's anger that drove my love away

But I still have hopes we'll meet again in North Amerikay

My love he was fair and handsome and to him I gave my heart

Ah but little was our notion that we would ever part

It was in my father's garden that this flower it did decay

But I still have hopes t'wil' bloom again in North Amerikay

Now I did not want for money kind fortune on me shone

So out of my father's castle I took 300 pounds

It was in the town of Belfast my passage I did pay

And then set sail across the sea to far Amerikay

Now the captain's wife was kind to me as you may understand

And she kept me in her cabin until we reached dry land

It was in the town of Quebec we landed on the Cay

But I knew not where to seek my love in all Amerikay

Now I being sick and sore and tired well I went into an inn

And it was there I met my William the lad I loved within

He took me gently by the hand and to me he did say

Oh I never thought I'd see your face in North Amerikay

Now I hear this couple have got wed as you may understand

And I hear they live quite happily in a town they call Saint Johns

And the money that she took from home well in gold she paid it down

And they think no more of Ireland nor Enniskillin Town
