barry taylor - an emigrant's daughter lyrics
oh, please ne’er forget me, though waves now lie o’er me
i was once young and pretty and my spirit ran free
but destiny tore me from country and loved ones
and from the new land i was never to see
a poor emigrant’s daughter, too frightened to know
i was leaving forever the land of my soul
amid struggle and fear, my parents did pray
to place courage to leave o’er the longing to stay
they spoke of a new land far away ‘cross the sea
and of peace and good fortune for my brothers and me
so we parted from townland with much weeping and pain
kissed the loved ones and the friends we would ne’er see again
the vessel was crowded with disquieted folk
the escape from past hardship sustaining their hope
but as the last glimpse of ireland faded into the mist
each one fought back tears and felt strangely alone
the seas roared in anger, making desperate our plight
and a fever came o’er me that worsened next night
then delirium possessed me and clouded my mind
and i for a moment saw that land left behind
i could hear in the distance my dear mother’s wailing
and the prayers of three brothers that i’d see no more
and i felt father’s tears as he begged for forgiveness
for seeking a new life on the still distant sh-r-
oh, please ne’er forget me, though waves now lie o’er me
i was once young and pretty and my spirit ran free
but destiny tore me from country and loved ones
and from the new land i was never to see
