Subject: RE: Origins: Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore
The nearly accurate(my LP isn't in great shape) lyrics are:

In early spring when small birds sing & lambkins sport and play
My way I took my friends foresook and ended at Dublin quay
I ended as a passenger and to England I sailed o'er
I bade farewell to all of my friends and I left the Shamrock shore

In London fair I did repare some pleasure for to find
I found it was a lovely place and pleasant to my mind
The Ladies too were fair to view and pretty ?? purse they wore
But none I saw could e'er compare to the Maids of the Shamrock shore
