Daniel O'Donnell - Three Leaf Shamrock lyrics

In the dock a ship was anchored On a bright St. Patrick's day On the quay a la** 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 "Darlin' 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 "Darlin' 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 live. And although the seas divide us And your face I might never see When there's brighter days in Ireland I 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...
