   He twined his arms around her neck
   And thus to her did say,
   In America I'ill prove true to you
   My Lovely Irish Maid
   III
   But when you're in America
   Some handsome maids you'ill see
   They will be very handsome love
   They will (be) thee remind of me
   For in passing by each tower or peak
   Or by each myrtle shade
   You''ill think of the happy hours you
   spent,
   With your loved Irish Maid.
   IV
   Now if you reflect that you're all alone
   Orthat I prove un true
   There is not a place where ere I roam
   But still I'ill think on you
   There is not a flower growing in the boures
   Through mountain, vale, or shade
   But will me remind of thee behind
   My Lovely Irish Maid.
   How many a youth that left their homes
   To seek a foreign shore
   To leave their friends and parents
