In early spring
when small birds sing
and lamb can sport and play
*
My way I took
my friends forsook
and came to Dublin bay
*
I am what I ask
a passenger
and to england I sailed o’er
*
I bade farewell
to all of my friends
and left the shamrock shores
*
To London fair
I did repair
my fortune there to find
*
I found t’was
a lovely place
and pleasant to my eyes
*
The ladies too
were fair unto view
and rich the purse they wore
*
But none I saw
that could compare
with the maids of the shamrock shore.
