Broken-Hearted Tom, the Lover.

Broken-Hearted Tom, the Lover.I’m lonesome since I cross’d the saes,My mind is never aisy;No mortal sowl can give relaif—In troth, I’m getting crazy.The burning tears roll down me chakes,In faith, they nearly blind me;I weep and sigh, both night and day,For the Girl I left behind me.The lovely lass I courted long,She lives in Tipperary;Her eyes were like the diamonds bright,And they call’d her black-eyed Mary.In summer’s night I took delight,Her beauty so inclined me,A thousand crowns I’d give to seeThe Girl I left behind me.In foreign lands compell’d to roam,Yet often think of Mary:The black-eyed lass that won my heartThat lives in Tipperary.On distant shores I weep and sigh,Without a friend to mind me;Bad luck unto the ship that sail’dAnd left the Girl behind me.If e’er I land on Erin’s shore,I’ll haste to Tipperary;Within me arms I will embraceMe lovely black-eyed Mary.With her I’ll dwell while life shall last,For she’d roam the world to find me,From Mary I’ll not wander more,The Girl I left behind me.

I’m lonesome since I cross’d the saes,

My mind is never aisy;

No mortal sowl can give relaif—

In troth, I’m getting crazy.

The burning tears roll down me chakes,

In faith, they nearly blind me;

I weep and sigh, both night and day,

For the Girl I left behind me.

The lovely lass I courted long,She lives in Tipperary;Her eyes were like the diamonds bright,And they call’d her black-eyed Mary.In summer’s night I took delight,Her beauty so inclined me,A thousand crowns I’d give to seeThe Girl I left behind me.

The lovely lass I courted long,

She lives in Tipperary;

Her eyes were like the diamonds bright,

And they call’d her black-eyed Mary.

In summer’s night I took delight,

Her beauty so inclined me,

A thousand crowns I’d give to see

The Girl I left behind me.

In foreign lands compell’d to roam,Yet often think of Mary:The black-eyed lass that won my heartThat lives in Tipperary.On distant shores I weep and sigh,Without a friend to mind me;Bad luck unto the ship that sail’dAnd left the Girl behind me.

In foreign lands compell’d to roam,

Yet often think of Mary:

The black-eyed lass that won my heart

That lives in Tipperary.

On distant shores I weep and sigh,

Without a friend to mind me;

Bad luck unto the ship that sail’d

And left the Girl behind me.

If e’er I land on Erin’s shore,I’ll haste to Tipperary;Within me arms I will embraceMe lovely black-eyed Mary.With her I’ll dwell while life shall last,For she’d roam the world to find me,From Mary I’ll not wander more,The Girl I left behind me.

If e’er I land on Erin’s shore,

I’ll haste to Tipperary;

Within me arms I will embrace

Me lovely black-eyed Mary.

With her I’ll dwell while life shall last,

For she’d roam the world to find me,

From Mary I’ll not wander more,

The Girl I left behind me.
