Muirshin Durkin Lyrics

In the days when I was courtin'

I was seldom done resortin'

In the ale house and the playhouse

And many's the house between

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 longer be a fool

As sure as me name is Carney

I'll go off to California

And instead of digging praties

I'll be digging lumps of gold

Farewell to all the girls at home

I'm bound away across the foam

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 longer be a fool

As sure as me name is Carney

I'll go off to California

Where instead of diggin' praties

I'll be digging lumps of gold

And goodbye, Muirshin Durkin

I'm sick and tired of workin'

I'll no more dig the praties

I'll no longer be a fool

As sure as me name is Carney

I'll go off to California

Where instead of diggin' praties

I'll be digging lumps of gold

Goodbye, Muirshin Durkin

I'm sick and tired of workin'

I'll no more dig the praties

No more be a fool

As sure as me name is Carney

I'll go off to California

Where instead of diggin' praties

I'll be diggin' lumps of gold
