I think more often called Patrick Furey.

Chorus
Farewell to the town of Galway
Connemara and Oranmore
Goodbye Barna, Rosmuck and Carna
I am bound for a foreign shore

Oh my name it is Patrick Furey
I love my country and liberty
But I fought for the things I love
And so an exile I must be

Oh my Mary, my darlin' girl
Shall I ever see you more
My heart grieves me, for I must leave thee
I am bound for a foreign shore

Chorus

But there's one thing I know for certain
That someday I will return
To my friends and my companions
In the place where I was born

I'll come back to the town of Galway
Connemara and Oranmore
Home to Barna, Rosmuck and Carna
There to dwell for ever more

regards Mick Bracken
