The Green Fields of America - The Chieftains (酋长乐队)[00:00:00]

Farewell to the groves of shillelagh and the shamrock[00:00:03]

Farewell to the girls of old Ireland all 'round[00:00:10]

And may their hearts be as merry as ever they could wish for[00:00:18]

As far away o'er the ocean I'm bound[00:00:29]

My father is old and my mother's right feeble[00:00:39]

To leave their own country, it would grieve their heart sore[00:00:48]

Oh, the tears down their cheeks, in great floods they are rolling[00:00:58]

To think that I must die upon some far and foreign shore[00:01:11]

But what matter to me, where my bones they may lie buried[00:01:21]

If in peace and contentment I can spend my life[00:01:30]

The green fields of Amerikay, they daily are calling[00:01:39]

It's there I'll find an end to my misery and strife[00:01:52]

So pack up your sea stores now, consider it no longer[00:02:02]

Ten dollars a week isn't very bad pay[00:02:10]

With no taxes or tithe there to devour up your wages[00:02:20]

Across on the green fields of Amerikay[00:02:33]

The lint dams are gone and the looms are lying idle[00:02:44]

Gone are the winders of baskets and creels[00:02:55]

And away o'er the ocean, go journeyman cowboys[00:03:03]

And fiddlers who play out the old mountain reels[00:03:13]

Ah, but I mind the time when old Ireland was flourishing[00:03:23]

And most of her tradesmen did work for good pay[00:03:33]

Ah, but since our manufacturers have crossed the Atlantic[00:03:44]

Well, it's now that I must follow onto Amerikay[00:03:57]

And now to conclude and to finish my ditty[00:04:08]

If e'er a friendless Irishman should happen my way[00:04:18]

With the best in the house, I will greet him and welcome him[00:04:27]

At home on the green fields of Amerikay[00:04:38]

So pack up your sea stores now, consider it no longer[00:04:48]

Ten dollars a week isn't very bad pay[00:04:59]

With no taxes or tithe there to devour up your wages[00:05:09]

Across on the green fields of Amerikay[00:05:24]
