Our SHip It Is Ready to Sail Away
The last verse in this version, which i learned from the late mary ryan of springfield, massachusetts, refers to the 'american wake'. the family and friends of one who had planned to emigrate to america would gather the night before the journey to have a wake in the emigrants honor. the traveler was never expected to be seen again. Our ship it is ready, to sail away so come my sweet comrades, over the stormy sea her snow white wings are all unfurled and soon shall swim in a watery world don't forget love, do not grieve for my heart is true-and cannot deceive my hand and heart, i give to you so farewell my love, and remember me. Farewell to dublin's hills and braes; to kiliney mountain's silvery stream where's many the fine long summers day, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com we loitered hours of joy away It's now i must pay a long adieu to wicklow and its beauties too avoca's vale, where lovers meet there to discourse in whispers sweet Farewell to my parents, with the tears rolling down to my friends and relations and neighbors all 'round the last night is passed, now comes the day but you will be my thoughts when faraway
