It ^Gbeing springtime and the ^Emsmall ^Dbirds they were ^Csinging Down in ^Emyon ^Dshady ^Charbour, I ^Gcarelessly did ^Cstray The ^Emthrushes ^Dthey were ^Cwarbling, the ^Gviolets they were ^Ccharming To ^Gview fond lovers ^Emtalk^Ding, a^Cwhile I did delay ^D

She ^Gsaid, "My dear don't leave me, ^Emfor a^Dnother ^Cseason Though ^Emfortune ^Ddoes be ^Cpleasing, I'^Gll go along with ^Cyou I'll for^Emsake friends ^Dand re^Clations and ^Gbid this Irish ^Cnation And ^Gto the bonny ^EmBann ^Dbanks, for^Cever I'll bid adieu" ^D

He ^Gsaid, "My dear don't grieve or ^Emyet an^Dnoy my ^Cpatience Ye ^Emknow I ^Dlove you ^Cdearly, the ^Gmore I'm going a^Cway I'm ^Emgoing to a ^Dforeign ^Cnation to ^Gpurchase a plan^Ctation To ^Gcomfort us here^Emaft^Der all ^Cin Americ, aye"
