Goodbye Johny Dear - Kate Purcell
Just twenty years ago today
I grasped my mother's hand
She kissed and blessed her only son
Going to a foreign land
The neighbours took me from her breast
And told her I must go
But I could hear my mother's voice
Though her words were sweet and low
Goodbye Johnny dear
When you're far away
Don't forget your dear old mother
Far across the sea
Write a letter now and then
And send her all you can
And don't forget where e'er
You roam that you're an Irishman
We set sailed from Queenstown
That is the cove of Cork
A very pleasant voyage
We had and soon we're in New York
I'd plenty of friends to meet me
There and work I got next day
But with all the hospitality
I could hear my mother say
Goodbye Johnny dear
When you're far away
Don't forget your dear old mother
Far across the sea
Write a letter now and then
And send her all you can
And don't forget where e'er
You roam that you're an Irishman
