“I am nearby broken hearted, Since I my true love parted”
I am nearby broken hearted,
Since I my true love parted,
I'm going to share the blessings
of the free.
To brave those mighty waters
that bore young Erin's Daughters
Far from home and friends,
and all thats dear to me.
Chorus
But now she's gone and left me(continues on next page)
