\/>\nThere&#8217;s a dreary dark cloud hanging o&#8217;er me,<br \/>\nAnd a weighty big load on my mind,<br \/>\nWhen I think of the prospects before me<br \/>\nAnd the country I&#8217;m leaving behind.<\/p>\n<p>So farewell to the green hills of Erin,<br \/>\nMy darling so faithful and kind;<br \/>\nAnd wherever I&#8217;ll be I&#8217;ll true love, to thee<br \/>\nAnd the country I&#8217;m leaving behind.<\/p>\n<p>Now Kitty, give over your crying,<br \/>\nAnd don&#8217;t be uneasy for me;<br \/>\nFor my fortune I&#8217;m now after trying<br \/>\nIn those sunny lands over the sea.<br \/>\nEach moment that passes shall find thee<br \/>\nStill reigning supreme in my mind,<br \/>\nAnd the image of your beauty shall bind me<br \/>\nTo the country I&#8217;m leaving behind.<\/p>\n<p>Chorus<\/p>\n<p>Though the land be abounding in treasure<br \/>\nAnd fair maids of every degree,<br \/>\nMy eyes may behold them with pleasure<br \/>\nBut my heart will be longing for thee!<br \/>\nLet stormy clouds gather above me,<br \/>\nOr friendship prove stale or unkind,<br \/>\nI will know there is one heart will love me<br \/>\nIn the country I&#8217;m leaving behind.<\/p>\n<p>Chorus<\/p>\n<div class=\"n\u00f3ta\u00ed-bun-leathanaigh\">\n<h2 id=\"t:notai\">Notes<\/h2>\n<p>Joe appears to be reading the words from a printed source; listen for the page
