Am Em
In eighteen-o-three we sailed out to sea
G D Am
Out from the sweet town of Derry
Am Em
For Australia bound, if we didn't all drown
G D Am
The marks of our fetters we carried
Am Em
In our rusty iron chains we cried for our weans
Am Em
Our good women we left in sorrow
Am Em
As the main sails unfurled, our curses we hurled
G D Am
On the English and thoughts of tomorrow
Am Em
At the mouth of the Foyle, bade farewell to the soil
G D Am
As down below decks we were lying
Am Em
O'Doherty screamed, woken out of a dream
G D Am
By a vision of bold Robert dying
Am Em
The sun burnt cruel as we dished out the gruel
Am Em
Dan O'Conner was down with a fever
Am Em
Sixty rebels today, bound for Botany Bay
G D Am
How many will reach their receiver
C G Am G Am
Oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry
C G Am G Am
Oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry
