Thousands Are Sailing - Planxty
Composed by：Donal Lunny/Andy Irvine/Traditional
Arranged by：Planxty
You brave Irish heroes
Wherever you be
I pray stand a moment
And listen to me
Your sons and fair daughters
Are now going away
And thousands are sailing
To Americay
So good luck to those people
And safe may they land
They are leaving their country
For a far distant strand
They are leaving old Ireland
No longer can stay
And thousands are sailing
To Americay
The night before leaving
They are bidding goodbye
And it's early next morning
Their heart gives a sigh
They do kiss their mothers
And then they will say
Farewell dear old father
We must now go away
Their friends and relations
And neighbors also
When the trunks they are packed up
All ready to go
Oh the tears from their eyes
They fall down like the rain
And the horses are prancing
Going off for the train
So good luck to those people
And safe may they land
They are leaving their country
For a far distant strand
They are leaving old Ireland
No longer can stay
And thousands are sailing
To Americay
When they do reach the station
You will hear their last cry
With handkerchiefs waving
And bidding goodbye
Their hearts will be breaking
On leaving the shore
Farewell dear old Ireland
Will we ne'er see you more
Oh I pity the mother
That rears up the child
And likewise the father
Who labours and toils
To try to support them
He will work night and day
And when they are reared up
They will go away
So good luck to those people
And safe may they land
They are leaving their country
For a far distant strand
They are leaving old Ireland
No longer can stay
And thousands are sailing
To Americay
Oh thousands are sailing
To Americay
