I
Farewell my country, a long farewell
My vengence fierce no tongue can tell,
For I must roam o'er the ocean wide
From my lovely home by Lough Sheilin's side.

From the village dance, and the shamrock plains
And blind O'Leary's enchanting strains
No harp like his could so emptly play
Or no foot as light as my Eileen's gay.

For she'd been admired by the young men all
When I brought her home a smiling bride.(continues on next page)- Collector
