[Verse 1]
In the days I [G]went court
ing I was never tired re[C]sorting
To a nail house or a playhouse
And [G]many's the house beside
[C]But I told my brother, [G]shame aside,
[C]Go off and be [G]right fam[C]ous
And I never would return [G]again
[C]Till I'd [G]roamed the world wide
[C]Goodbye
[G]Mershindurken,
sure I'm [C]sick and tired of workin'
No more I'll dig the paradeys
[G]And no longer I'll be [C]fooled
As sure as my name is
[G]Carney I'll be off to
Califor[C]nia
Where instead of digging [G]paradeys I'll
be diggin' lumps of [C]gold[G][C]
I've courted girls in
Ballarney, in
Canterk and in
Killarney, in
Passage and in
Queenstown, that is, the
Cobh of
Cork.
Goodbye to all this pleasure, I'll be off to take me leisure,
and the next time that you hear from me will be a letter from
[G]New
[C]York.
So it's goodbye,
Machine
Durkin, I'm [G]sick and [C]tired of workin',
no more I'll dig the [G]cradies and no longer I'll be [C]filled.
As sure as my name is
[G]Kearney I'll be off to
Califor[C]nia
Where instead of [G]digging paradies I'll be
diggin' lumps of [C]gold[G]
[C]Goodbye to the girls at home I'm
going [G]far [C]across the foam
Try and make me fortune [G]in far
America
[C]There's gold and jewels and plenty
for the poor and [G]for the
[C]GM tree
And when I return again,
I never more will say
Goodbye,
Marching
Dirk, I'm sure I'm [G]sick and
tired of [C]working
No more I'll dig the prairies,
[G]and no longer [C]I'll be fooled
As sure as my name is
[G]Carney, I'll be off to
Califor[C]nia
Where instead of digging [G]prairies,
I'll be digging lumps of [C]gold[G][C][G]
[C]You
