R.I.P NANA...WISH YOU WERE TODAY..CAN REMEMBER YOU SITTING SINGING IT TO ME AS A CHILD...MISS YOU LOADS.XXX

[hoppybhoy71]

Go sell the pig and the cow and all,

And we'll take you far away,

For your dear old parents

You must leave behind.

Go and seek your fortune far away

In a land across the sea,

For in Paddy's land it's poverty you'll find.

[hoppybhoy71]

Those were the words my mother spake

As I left old Ireland.

And the sad farewell is in my memory still.

As I placed that bundle on my back,

And I left for ever more,

From yon little old mud cabin on the hill

[hoppybhoy71]

Oh, for the roof was thatched with yellow straw,

And the walls were white as snow.

And the turf fire boiled the pot, I see it still.

Old Ireland's engraven in my heart,

It's the place where I was born,

In that little old thatched cabin on the hill.
