    (continued from previous page)
    Is cuma cá raca mé, ní bhéid mé i bfad beo
    Ag codlad ar mo leabaidh 'sé mo phaidir mo yore

    In the midst of the ocean there will grow a large tree
    The day I prove false to grágal mo croidhe
    The ship she is ready well fitted for sea
    And I am bound for New York and sweet America

    Lár thuille bháiste fásannn crann árd
    Tá an imrín sin doimheart ar stórín mo croidhe
    Racfaidh mé thar saile, ní filleadh mé coidhche
    Go bhfá mé fal cainnte ar grágal mo chroidhe
