In the Cdays I went a Gcourtin',

I was Fnever tired reCsortin'.

To an Cale house or a Gplayhouse,

And Fmany's the house beCsides

But I Ctold me brother GSeamus,

I'd go Foff and be right Cfamous,

And I Cnever would reGturn again,

Until I Froamed the wCorldwide.

Chorus

CGoodbye, Muirsheen GDurkin,

Sure I'm Fsick and tired of Cworkin'

No Cmore I'll dig for Gpraties,

And no Flonger I'll be Cfooled

Where insCtead of digging Gpraties,

I'll be Fdigging lumps of Cgold.
