Karaoké Leavin' of Liverpool / Star of County Down / Donegal Danny Nathan Carter

Fare thee well to you my own true love

I am sailing far away

For I am bound for California and I know that I'll return someday

So fare thee well my own true love

When I return united we will be

It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me but me darlin' when I think of thee

Near Banbridge town in the County Down one morning last July

Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín and she smiled as she passed me by

She looked so sweet from her two bare feet to the sheen of her nut-brown hair

Such a coaxing elf had to shake myself to make sure

I was standing there

From Bantry Bay and to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town

No maid I've seen like the sweet cailín that I met in the County Down

I remember the night that he came in from the wintery cold and damp

A giant of a man in an oilskin coat and a bundle

I thought he was a tramp

He stood at the bar and he called a pint then turned and gazed at the fire

On a night like this to be safe and dry is my one and only desire

So here's to those that are dead and gone the friends that I loved dear

And here's to you and I'll bid you adieu

Singin' Donegal Danny's been here me boys

Donegal Danny's been here
