Oh fare you well sweet Cootehill town,
The place where I was
born and bred,
Through shady groves and flowery hills
My youthful fancy did
serenade,
But now I'm bound for Amerikay,
A country that I never saw;
These pleasant
scenes I'll always mind
When I am roving far away.
The pleasant hills near
Cootehill town
Where I have spent my youthful days
Both day and night I took
delight
In dancing and in harmless plays.
But while I rove from town to town
Fond
memory in my mind shall stay
Of those pleasant happy youthful hours
That now are spent and
passed away.
Perchance kind fate will reinstate,
And fortune's face upon me smile
To
safe conduct me home again
To my own dear native Irish isle;
When all my comrades and
friends likewise
Will gather round and to me say
"We'll sing and dance as in days gone
by,
For you're welcome home from Amerikay."
from Songs of the Irish in America,
Meek
