Three Leaf Shamrock



In a dock a ship was anchored

On a bright St. Patrick's day

On the quay a lass was sighing

For her lover going away

In her hand she held an emblem

And its parting 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 see

When there's brighter days in Ireland

I'll come home and marry thee



(Break)



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 its parting leaves were three

And her parting words were "Darlin'

Look at these and think of me"



Chorus



And her parting words were "Darlin'

Look at these and think of me

Reply:Although The Irishman's Shamrock sounds like an Irish song, it was actually written in 1889 (as The Three Leaves of Shamrock) by an American, albeit of Irish ancestry, called James McGuire. The song was popularised in America by singers Lester McFarland %26amp; Robert A. Gardner, who recorded it in 1928 and 1931 (this latter recording being issued on no fewer than eight separate labels), and by Charlie Poole %26amp; The North Carolina Ramblers, who recorded it in 1929 under the title Leaving Dear Old Ireland.



(There is also the traditional Three Leaf Shamrock, as recorded by Hugo Duncan, John Kerr and also Daniel O'Donnell).
