Three Leaf Shamrock - Hugo Duncan
In the dock a ship was anchored
On a bright St Patrick's day
On the quay a lass was sighing
For her lover going away
Just before the ship had started
As she laid her hand on mine
Just before that we had parted
She looked with loving eyes so kind
To my coat she pinned an emblem
And it's parted leaves were three
And her parting words were
Darlin Look at these and think of me
Three leaf shamrock I adore thee
Your three leaves I long to free
When there's brighter days in Ireland
I'll come home and marry thee
But tonight I am an exile
Far from home and far from thee
Next my heart I'll wear your token
Love no matter where I live
And although the seas divide us
And your face I might never see
When there's brighter days in Ireland
I come home and marry thee
Three leaf shamrock I adore thee
Your three leaves I long to see
When there's brighter days in Ireland
I'll come home and marry thee
