I am a rambling Irishman
In Ulster I was born in
And many's the pleasant day I spent
By the shores of sweet Lough Erin
For to be poor I could not endure
Like the others of my station
To America we sailed away
And left this Irish nation
Ry tan tin-a-na tan tin-a-na
Ry tan tin-a-noora nandy
Ry tan tin-a-na tan tin-a-na
Ry tan tin-a-noora nandy
The night before I went away
I spent it with my darling
From 3 o'clock in the afternoon
Till the break of day next morning
But when it was that we should part
We linked each others' arms in
To America we sailed away
A journey with your charms
Ry tan tin-a-na tan tin-a-na
Ry tan tin-a-noora nandy
Ry tan tin-a-na tan tin-a-na
Ry tan tin-a-noora nandy
Ry tan tin-a-na tan tin-a-na
Ry tan tin-a-noora nandy
Ry tan tin-a-na tan tin-a-na
Ry tan tin-a-noora nandy
And when we reached the other side
We were both stout and healthy
We dropped our anchor in the bay
Going down by Philadelphia
So let every lass drink to her lad
And blue jacket and white trousers
And let every lad drink to his lass
And till then mars life spounses
Ry tan tin-a-na tan tin-a-na
Ry tan tin-a-noora nandy
Ry tan tin-a-na tan tin-a-na
Ry tan tin-a-noora nandy
