I am a youth that's inclined to ramble

To some foreign country I mean to steer

I am loath to part my friends and comrades

And my dear sweetheart, whom I love dear

But there's one of those I do most admire

On her I'll think when I'm far away

For since fates decreed I am resolved to part her

And try my fortune in Americay

So farewell darling since I must leave you

I place great dependance on your constancy

That no other young man may gain you favour

Or change your mind when I am o'er the sea

For although the seas do seperate us

And in between us they do rise and fall

If fortune favours me you'll find your Jamie

Returning homeward from Americay

Oh Jamie dear do you remember

When I sat with you for manys the hour

And my young fancy away was carried

And the bees hummed around on each opening flower

But when you're crossing the western ocean

The maid that loved you, you'll ne'er mind ava,

And you'll scarce e're think upon the maids of Erin

For you'll find strange sweethearts in America

Oh Mary dear, I don't disemble

For to all other fair maids I'll prove untrue

And if you think that these are false promises

I'll leave these vows as a pledge to you.

That what I have may prove unsuccessful

And fortune prove to me a slippery ball

That a favouring gale it may n'er blow on me

If I forsake you in America

And to conclude and to end these verses

May God protect this young female fair

And keep her from every wild embarrassment

And of my darling take the greatest care

For she's slow to anger and of kind disposition

And her cheeks like roses in June do blaw

In my nightly slumbers when o'er I think on her

I could court her vision in America
