In early spring when small birds sing and lambken sport and play
My way i took, my friends forsook and came to Dublin bay
I entered as a passenger and to England i sailed on
I bade farewell to all of my friends and i left the Shamrock Shore
To London fair i did repair some pleasure there to find
I found it was a lovely place and pleasent to my mind
The ladies too were fair to wiev and rich the pearls they wore
But none i saw that could compare with the maids of the Shamrock Shore
