Muirsheen Durkin' - The Dubliners

In the days I went a courtin' I was never tired resortin'

To an ale-house or a playhouse and many's the house besides

But I told me brother Seamus I'd go off and be right famous

And I never would return again 'til I roamed the world wide

Goodbye Muirsheen Durkin sure I'm sick and tired of working

No more I'll dig the praties and no longer I'll be fooled

As sure's me name is Carney I'll be off to California

Where instead of diggin' praties I'll be diggin' lumps of gold

I've courted girls in Blarney in Kanturk and in Killarney

In Passage and in Queenstown that is the Cobh of Cork

Goodbye to all this pleasure I'll be off to take me leisure

And the next time that you hear from me will be a letter from New York

So it's Goodbye Muirsheen Durkin I'm sick and tired of working

No more I'll dig the praties and no longer I'll be fooled

As sure's me name is Carney I'll be off to California

Where instead of diggin' praties I'll be diggin' lumps of gold

Goodbye to the girls at home I'm going far across the foam

To try and make me fortune in far Amerikay

There's gold and jewels and plenty for the poor and for the gentry

And when I return again I never more will say

Goodbye Muirsheen Durkin sure I'm sick and tired of working

No more I'll dig the praties and no longer I'll be fooled

As sure's me name is Carney I'll be off to California

Where instead of diggin' praties I'll be diggin' lumps of gold
