Three Leaf Shamrock Songtext
von Daniel O’Donnell

In the dock a ship was anchored
On a bright St. Patrick′s Day
On the quay a lass was sighing
For her lover going away
In her hand she held an emblem
And its parted leaves were three
And her parting words were 'Darling
Look at these and think of me′
Three-leaf shamrock I adore thee
Your three leaves I long to see
When there's brighter days in Ireland
I'll come home and marry thee
Just before the ship had started
As she laid her hand on mine
Just before that we had parted
She looked with loving eyes so kind
To my coat she pinned an emblem


And its parted leaves were three
And her parting words were ′Darling
Look at these and think of me′
But tonight I am an exile
Far from home and far from thee
Next my heart I'll wear your token
Love no matter where I be
And although the seas divide us
And your face I might never see
When there′s brighter days in Ireland
I'll come home and marry thee
Three-leaf shamrock I adore thee
Your three leaves I long to see
When there′s brighter days in Ireland
I'll come home and marry thee
When there′s brighter days in Ireland
I'll come home and marry thee
