The night before I went away
I spent it with my darling
Three o'clock in the afternoon
'Til the break of day next morning
But when that we were going to part
We linked in each others arms
For Americae we soon set sail 
A journey without no charms


Rye tan tin a na, tan tin a na
Rye tan tin a nore in a nandy
Rye tan tin a na, tan tin a na
Rye tan tin a nore in a nandy


And when we reached the other side
we were both stout and healthy
We dropped our anchor in the bay
Going down to Philadelphi
So let every lass drink to her lad
In blue jacket and white trousers
And let every lad drink to his lass
And take them as lifes spouses


Rye tan tin a na, tan tin a na
Rye tan tin a nore in a nandy
Rye tan tin a na, tan tin a na
Rye tan tin a nore in a nandy

whatever country the Irish people went to over the years They took with them their music and songs. They took with them too the stories and folk-tales which had been handed down to them from generation to generation.Our emigrants however, ` were not just content with the songs and stories they took with them to other lands; for these in the main told of events and happenings in their own land. As far as our emigrants were concerned 
different climes influenced them in producing different stories and different rhymes. ` These new folk songs were born out of their experiences in such far-flung lands as Australia, America and Canada.
