An Emigrant's Daughter - WordHarmonic[00:00:00]

Oh please ne'er forget me[00:00:19]

Though waves now lie o'er me[00:00:22]

I was once young and[00:00:26]

Pretty and my spirit ran free[00:00:29]

But destiny tore me from[00:00:34]

Country and loved ones[00:00:39]

And from the new land[00:00:42]

I was never to see[00:00:46]

A poor emigrant's daughter[00:00:50]

Too frightened to know[00:00:53]

I was leaving forever[00:00:57]

The land of my soul[00:01:02]

Amid struggle and fear[00:01:05]

My parents did pray[00:01:09]

To place courage to leave[00:01:13]

O'er the longing to stay[00:01:16]

They spoke of a new land[00:01:25]

Far away 'cross the sea[00:01:28]

And of peace and good fortune[00:01:32]

For my brothers and me[00:01:36]

So we parted from townland[00:01:40]

With much weeping and pain[00:01:44]

'Kissed the loved ones and[00:01:48]

The friends we would ne'er see again[00:01:50]

The vessel was crowded[00:01:55]

With disquieted folk[00:01:59]

The escape from past hardship[00:02:03]

Sustaining their hope[00:02:07]

But as the last glimpse of[00:02:11]

Ireland faded into the mist[00:02:14]

Each one fought back tears[00:02:19]

And felt strangely alone[00:02:22]

The seas roared in anger[00:02:30]

Making desperate our plight[00:02:34]

And a fever came o'er me[00:02:38]

That worsened next night[00:02:42]

Then delirium possessed[00:02:46]

Me and clouded my mind[00:02:49]

And I for a moment saw[00:02:53]

That land left behind[00:02:58]

I could hear in the distance[00:03:01]

My dear mother's wailing[00:03:05]

And the prayers of three[00:03:09]

Brothers that I'd see no more[00:03:13]

And I felt father's tears[00:03:17]

As he begged for forgiveness[00:03:21]

For seeking a new life on[00:03:24]

The still distant shore[00:03:28]

Oh please ne'er forget me[00:03:49]

Though waves now lie o'er me[00:03:54]

I was once young and pretty[00:03:59]

And my spirit ran free[00:04:04]

But destiny tore me from[00:04:08]

Country and loved ones[00:04:13]

And from the new land[00:04:17]

I was never to see[00:04:22]
