- (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
