Lyrics

v1
i cant see my home anymore
i'm sailing away from the things i adore
i swore to my Katie no paupers we'd be
i'll go down in the mine let the dust cover me
v2
i dreamed of sweet Katie again
it's moments like that upon which i depend
if the whiskey dont kill me this hoplessness will
i'll go down in the shaft let my lungs drink their fill
chorus
oh Katie, remember me
bring your sweet hope, comfort me
Katie, across the sea
bring your sweet lips to me
v3
i may never see Ireland again
the ocean's so wide it just might never end
i'll lay myself down for a sleep on the green
it's the fairest of places this lad's ever been
chorus
oh Katie, remember me
bring your sweet hope, comfort me
Katie, across the sea
bring your sweet lips to me
