The Ship it sails in half an hour to cross the broad Atlantic
Me friends are standing on the quay with grief and sorrow frantic
I'm just about to sail away in the good ship Dan O'Leary
It's anchors aweigh and the gangways up, I'm leaving Tipperary
And it's goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat and goodbye Kate and Mary
The anchor's aweigh, the gangways up, I'm leaving Tipperary
And now the steam is blowing off, I have no more to say
I'm bound for New York City boys, three thousand miles away
In my portmanteau have I some cabbage, beans and bacon
And if you think I can't eat that well there's where yer mistaken
Oh the ship will play with pitch and toss for half a dozen fathoms
I'll roll me bundle on me back and walk to Castle gardens
And it's goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat and goodbye Kate and Mary
The anchor's aweigh, the gangways up, I'm leaving Tipperary
And now the steam is blowing off, I have no more to say
I'm bound for New York City boys, three thousand miles away
Now I won't come that Yankee chat, I guess I'm calculating
Come liquor up ole sonny Boy, while an old friend do ourtreating
I'm deep in love with Molly Burke like an a**'s fond of clover
When get there and send her heart - that's if she will come over
And it's goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat and goodbye Kate and Mary
The anchor's aweigh, the gangways up, I'm leaving Tipperary
And now the steam is blowing off, I have no more to say
I'm bound for New York City boys, three thousand miles away
And it's goodbye Mick and goodbye Pat and goodbye Kate and Mary
The anchor's aweigh, the gangways up, I'm leaving Tipperary
