Our ship is ready to bear away
Come comrades o'er the stormy seas
Her snow-white wings they are unfurled
And soon she will swim in a watery world

(chorus) Ah, do not forget, love, do not grieve
For the heart is true and can't deceive
My heart and hand with you I leave
Fare thee well true love, remember me

Farewell to Dublin's hills and braes
To Killarney's lakes and silvery seas
'Twas many the long bright summer's day
When we passed those hours of joy away

Farewell to you, my precious pearl
It's my lovely dark-haired, blue-eyed girl
And when I'm on the stormy seas
When you think on Ireland, remember me

Oh, Erin dear, it grieves my heart
To think that I so soon must part
And friends so ever dear and kind
In sorrow I must leave behind
