Muirshin Durkin - The Phil Kennedy Show, March 1985, Live

In the days when I was courtin', I was seldom done resortin'
 In the alehouse and the playhouse and many the house between
 So I told me brother Seamus, I'll go off and get right famous
 And when I come back home again, I'll have seen the whole wide world
 And it's goodbye, Muirshin Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
 I'll no more dig the praties, I'll no more be a fool
 For as sure as me name is Carney, I am bound for California
 Instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold
 Farewell to all the girls at home, I'm bound away across the farm
 Off to seek me fortune in far Amerikay
 There's silver there a-plenty for the poor and for the gentry
 And when I come back home again, I never more will say
 Goodbye, Muirshin Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
 I'll no more dig the praties, I'll no more be a fool
 For as sure as me name is Carney, I am bound for California
 Instead of diggin' praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold
