Thousands Are Sailing To Amerikay

So good luck to those people and safe may they land
 They are leaving their country for a far distant strand
 They are leaving old Ireland, no longer can stay
 And thousands are sailing to America
 You brave Irish heroes wherever you be
 I pray stand a moment and listen to me
 Your sons and fair daughters are now going away
 And thousands are sailing to America
 The night before leaving they are bidding goodbye
 And it's early next morning their heart gives a sigh
 They do kiss their mothers and then they do say
 Fare thee well, dearest father, we must now go away
 So good luck to those people and safe may they land
 They are leaving their country for a far distant strand
 They are leaving old Ireland, no longer can stay
 And thousands are sailing to America
 Their friends and relations, their neighbours also
 When the trunks they are packed up all ready to go
 The tears form their eyes they fall down like the rain
 And the horses are prancing going off for the train
 So good luck to those people and safe may they land
 They are leaving their country for a far distant strand
 They are leaving old Ireland, no longer can stay
 And thousands are sailing to America
 When they do reach the station you will hear their last cry
 With handkerchiefs waving and bidding goodbye
 Their hearts will be breaking on leaving the shore
 Fare thee well, dear old Ireland, we will ne'er see you more
 So I pity the mother that rears up the child
 And likewise the father who labours and toils
 To try to support them he will work night and day
 And when they are reared up they will go away
 So good luck to those people and safe may they land
 They are leaving their country for a far distant strand
 They are leaving old Ireland, no longer can stay
 And thousands are sailing to America
