[00:00.85]In the days I went a courtin'
[00:02.69]I was never tired resortin'
[00:04.78]To an alehouse or a playhouse
[00:06.62]And many's the house beside
[00:08.52]But I told me brother Seamus
[00:10.55]I'd go off and be right famous
[00:12.47]And I never i be return
[00:13.93]Again till I'd roam the world wide
[00:16.44]Goodbye Muirsheen Durkin
[00:18.42]I'm sick and tired of workin'
[00:20.36]No more I'll dig the prates
[00:22.32]And no longer I'll be fooled
[00:24.27]As sure as me name is Carney
[00:26.24]I'll be off to Californy
[00:28.15]Where instead of diggin' prates
[00:30.26]I'll be diggin' lumps of gold
[00:32.26]I've courted girls in Blarney
[00:34.09]In Kanturk and in Killarney
[00:36.07]In Passage and in Queenstown
[00:38.12]That is the Cobh of Cork
[00:40.00]Goodbye to all this pleasure
[00:41.74]And I'll be off to take me leisure
[00:43.87]And the next time that you hear
[00:45.42]From me will be a letter from New York
[00:48.12]Goodbye Muirsheen Durkin
[00:49.87]Oh I'm sick and tired of workin'
[00:51.82]No more I'll dig the prates
[00:53.79]And no longer I'll be fooled
[00:55.73]As sure as me name is Carney
[00:57.49]I'll be off to Californy
[00:59.71]Where instead of diggin' prates
[01:01.78]I'll be diggin' lumps of gold
[01:03.70]Goodbye to all the girls at home
[01:05.68]I'm going far across the foam
[01:07.92]To try and make me fortune in far America
[01:11.63]There's gold and jewels in plenty
[01:13.54]For the poor and for the gentry
[01:15.55]And when I return again
[01:17.45]I never more will say
[01:19.77]Goodbye Muirsheen Durkin
[01:21.62]Sure I'm sick and tired of workin'
[01:23.54]No more I'll dig the prates
[01:25.37]And no longer I'll be fooled
[01:27.43]As sure as me name is Carney
[01:29.25]I'll be off to Californy
[01:31.46]Where instead of diggin' prates
[01:33.60]I'll be diggin' lumps of gold
