In a big anchor liner we're sailing in style, And we're sailing away, from the Emerald Isle. Oh a strange sort of sigh seems to come from us all As the waves hit the last bit of auld Donegal, Sure its good to be you that is taking your tay, Where' they're cutting the Corn around Creeslough today. Sure I spoke to the captain, and he won't turn her round And if I swam back, I'd be apt to be drowned So I'll stay where I am, for the diet is great And there's lots of combustibles, piled on me plate Although it is "sumpchus", sure I'd swap the whole lot For the auld wooden spoon and the stir-about pot Oh and kitty furnanced me awettin' the tay Where they're Cuttin' the Corn around Cresslough, the day There's a woman on board that knows Kitty by sight, And we talked of auld times 'til they put out the light. I'm to meet the good woman tomorrow on deck, And we'll talk about Kitty from here to Quebec. Sure I know I'm no match for her, no not the least With her house and two cows, and her brother a priest. But the woman declares Kitty's heart's on the say While mine's with the reaper's round Creeslough, the day. Ah, goodbye to you Danny, there's no more to be said, And I think the salt water's got into me head, And it drips from me eyes when I call to my mind The friends and the colleagues I'm leaving behind. And sure Kitty herself when she bade me goodbye Had just the slight trace of a tear in her eye, And a break in her voice when she said, "You'd might stay", But please God I'll come back , to auld Creeslough, some day."
