Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Farewell my Green Valleys (Glen Reid) 
The seagulls are calling and the wind is in the sails And she's fast moving over the sea On a ship bound for St John three thousand miles away A human cargo my comrades and me 
Chorus Farewell my green valleys god keep you the same If in only my mind you'll be I'm sailing dark water to far America Never more my green valley I'll see 
It hurts me to think of the things I left behind And the famine has blackened our land And to look now for something that I might never find Is a problem that now is at hand 
Chorus 
There's a fever a raging and the wind has died away And the journey can no longer be And the plague is a shadow that lingers night and day For more thoughts of green valleys I'll see 
Chorus
