An Irish boy was leaving

Leaving own his native home
D                    A      F#m
Crossing the broad Atlantic
Bm                     E
Once more he wished to roam
A         E           A
And as he was leaving his mother
D      A
Who was standing on the quay
D              A          F#m
She threw her arms around his neck

And this were the words sie sad

Keep her while she's living
Bm                       E
You'll miss her when she's gone
A        E     A
Love her as in childhood
D       A
Though feeble old and grey
D               A        F#m
For you'll never miss your mother's love
Bm       E         A
Till she's buried beneath the clay
