  1. A Song (continued)

    “I am nearby broken hearted, Since I my true love parted”

    (continued from previous page)
    There is no blooming flower
    Newly shorn from the bower
    Can equal my sweet, fair,
    young Annie from Athboy.
    Chorus
    But now she's gone and left me
    And off this heart bereft me
    That great big ship that bore my love away.
    I will no longer, sure I'll
    buy the ring and marry,
    Just before you'ill see
    another Patricks Day.
