Verse 1
C 
G 
In the days I went to court
C 
and I was never tired, resorting
G 
To the alehouse or the playhouse,
C 
or many's the house beside
I told me brother Seamus
G 
C 
I'd go off and go quite famous
G 
Before I'd return again
C 
I'd roam the world wide
G 
So goodbye, marching dark,
C 
and sure I'm sick and tired of work
G 
No more I'll dig the prairies,
C 
no longer I'll be full
G 
Sure as me name is Jonesy,
C 
I'll go off to Arizona
G 
Where instead of digging potatoes,
C 
I'll be digging big lumps of gold
G 
I've courted girls in Blarney,
C 
in Canterk and in Killarney
G 
In Passage and in Queenstown,
C 
that is the Cove of Cork
G 
So goodbye to all this pleasure,
C 
for I'm going to take me leisure
G 
And the next time that you'll hear from me
C 
will be a letter from New York
G 
So goodbye marshling dark and sure,
C 
I'm sick and tired of workin'
G 
No more I'll dig the tatos,
C 
no longer I'll be fooled
G 
Sure as me name is Kearney,
C 
I'll go off to California
G 
Friends said it again, Tatoes,
C 
I'll be diggin' big lumps of gold
G 
So goodbye to waddy girls at home,
C 
I'm sailin' far across the foam
G 
To try to seek me fortune,
to fire a merry cake
C 
There's gold and money
G 
C 
plenty for the poor and for the gentry
G 
And when I come back again,
C 
I never more will stray
G 
So goodbye, Morshing, Durkin,
C 
sure I'm sick and tired of workin'
G 
No more I'll dig that sage hose,
C 
no longer I'll be fooled
G 
Sure as me name is Jonesy,
C 
I'll go off to Arizona
G 
When I'm bound back again,
C 
I never more will stray
G 
C 
So goodbye, Morshing, Durkin,
G 
sure I'm sick and tired of workin'
C 
G 
No more I'll dig the tatoes,
C 
no longer I'll be full.
G 
Sure as me name is Kearney,
C 
I'll go off to California,
G 
where instead of digging tatoes,
C 
C 
E 
I'll be digging big lumps of gold.
I'll play you a couple of step dances
G 
Em 
G 
a  lot of these old folk songs
are really dances
and you can feel it you know
G 
but this is one of the ones you learn
when you're really young in the schoolyard.
