I am a ramblin' Irishman   It's Ulster I was born in   And manys the happy hour I spent   On the banks of sweet Loch Erin   Ah but to live poor I could not endure   Like others of my station   To America I sailed away   And left this Irish nation      Rie tan tah na nah tan tan na nah   rie tan tan a noo tan a tan deh      The night before I went away   I spent it with my darlin   From 2 o'clock in the afternoon   Til the break of day next morning   And when that we were going for to part   We linked in each other's arm   And you may be sure, ah and very very sure   It's wounded both her charms      Rie….      The very first night I spent on board   I dreamt about my Nancy   I dreamt I held her in my arms   And it's well she pleased my fancy   Ah, but in the morning when I awoke   And I found my bosom empty   Ah you may be sure, and very very sure   That I lay discontented      Rie….      Ah but when we reached the other side   We both stout and healthy   We dropped our anchor in the bay   Going down to Philadelphie   Let every lass link with her lad   Blue jacket and white trousers   Let every lad link with his lass   Blue petticoat and white blousers      Tan tan na nah…..
