Goodbye Muirsin Durkin Lyrics by Off Kilter

The Live Tracks

0

Goodbye Muirsin Durkin, I’m sick and tired of workin’
No longer I’ll dig praties, no more shall I be cold
Sure as me name is Carney I’ll be off to Californy
Instead of digging praties I’ll be diggin’ lumps of gold
In the days I went to courtin’ I was never tired of resortin’
To an ale house or a playhouse and many’s the house besides
I told me brother Seamus I’d go off and go right famous
Next time you hear from me, I roamed the whole world wide
Goodbye Muirsin Durkin, I’m sick and tired of workin’
No longer I’ll dig praties, no more shall I be cold
Sure as me name is Carney I’ll be off to Californy
Instead of digging praties I’ll be diggin’ lumps of gold
I've courted girls in Blarney, in Kanturk and in Killarney
In Passage and in Banbridge town, and in the Cobh of Cork
Goodbye to all me pleasure for I’m off to take me leisure
Next time that you hear from me, is a letter from New York
Goodbye Muirsin Durkin, I’m sick and tired of workin’
No longer I’ll dig praties, no more shall I be cold
Sure as me name is Carney I’ll be off to Californy
Instead of digging praties I’ll be diggin’ lumps of gold
Goodbye to all me boys at home I’m going far across the foam
To try and make me fortune in far Amerikay
There’s gold and jewels aplenty for the poor and for the gentry
Next time that you hear from me no longer shall I say
Goodbye Muirsin Durkin, I’m sick and tired of workin’
No longer I’ll dig praties, no more shall I be cold
Sure as me name is Carney I’ll be off to Californy
Instead of digging praties I’ll be diggin’ lumps of gold
