My name is
Mary
Clare
Molloy I was (B flat major) born in
County
Cork (C minor)
At (B flat major) (C minor) eighteen years of age I
sailed for the shores of old
New
York
With seven hundred picture brights
torn between hope and fear
At last we spied
Manhattan (A flat major) and the (B flat major) famous
Isle of
(C minor) Tears
My first taste of the new world
Turned to ashes (B flat major) very fast (C minor)
The ones who entered freely
Were from first and second class
We steel -rich folk remained on board
As if we were exiles
The captain turned the ship (A flat major) around
And (B flat major) sailed to
Ellis
(C minor) Isle
We disembarked and stood in line with
(B flat major) chalk marks on our (C minor) coats (B flat major)
(C minor) Experimental illness,
he'd be back on the boat
They asked us what our reading was,
could we read or write?
The sound of women weep (A flat major) ing
set the (B flat major) dormitories alight (C minor)
My best friend was deported
back to a (B flat major) poor
Killay home (C minor)
(B flat major) Another (C minor) sin to swim,
born idle, of cholera alone
The rest of us were shipped
to trains bound for
Midwest states
To wild and stormy pretty (A flat major) lands
and (B flat major) our prospective mates (C minor)
He's
American
Prim (B flat major) itive
Man (C minor)
And in
American
Prim (B flat major) itive
Land (C minor)
Ir (E flat major) ish eyes (B flat major) and (A flat major) colours (C minor) tans
American
Prim (G major) itive
(C minor) Man (G major) (C minor) (C major) (F major) (C major)
(F major) (C major) (D minor) (G major) (C major) (F major) (C major) (F major) (C major)
(G major) (C major) (F major) (C major) (F major) (D minor) (G major) (C major) (F major) (F major)
(G major) (C major) (C minor)
