- You patriot sons of Paddy’s land
Come listen unto me,
Till I relate and do narrate
A mournful tragedy;
For want of trade a thousand maids
So far away do roam
And leave the land where they were reared
Called Erin’s lovely home.IIMy father was a farmer
Reared to industry,
He had two sons they were men big
And lovely daughters three;
But the land was too small to maintain us all
And some of us had to roam
And leave the land where we were reared
Called Erin’s lovely home.IIIMy father sold his second cow,
He borrowed twenty pounds;
Twas in the merry month of May
We sailed from Derry town
There were thousands more along the shore
All anxious for to roam
And leave the land where they were reared(continues on next page)- Collector
