๐ Lyrics
My bonnie bark floats light and free
Across the surging foam
It bears me far from Innisfail
To seek a foreign home
A lonely exile travel o'erneath
Misfortune's cruel frown
Far away from home and the friends so dear
In sweet Kingwilliamstown
While here upon the deck I stand
And watch the surging foam
Kind thoughts arise all in my mind
For friends I'll ne'er see more
For childhood days and all happy hours
As fast the tears roll down
For my old home and the friends so dear
In sweet Kingwilliamstown
Shall I no more gaze upon that shore
Or view those mountains high
Or gaze upon Blackwater's bays
Where I rambled as a child
For to view the sun o'er Knockacabar
Light up the heather brown
Before she flings her farewell beams
O'er sweet Kingwilliamstown
I know not yet, but I fondly hold
Where'er my footsteps roam
Will always linger in my heart
Kind thoughts of friends at home
So fare thee well sweetest mountain
As the night comes softly down
Oh God be with you higher land
And sweet Kingwilliamstown
Across the surging foam
It bears me far from Innisfail
To seek a foreign home
A lonely exile travel o'erneath
Misfortune's cruel frown
Far away from home and the friends so dear
In sweet Kingwilliamstown
While here upon the deck I stand
And watch the surging foam
Kind thoughts arise all in my mind
For friends I'll ne'er see more
For childhood days and all happy hours
As fast the tears roll down
For my old home and the friends so dear
In sweet Kingwilliamstown
Shall I no more gaze upon that shore
Or view those mountains high
Or gaze upon Blackwater's bays
Where I rambled as a child
For to view the sun o'er Knockacabar
Light up the heather brown
Before she flings her farewell beams
O'er sweet Kingwilliamstown
I know not yet, but I fondly hold
Where'er my footsteps roam
Will always linger in my heart
Kind thoughts of friends at home
So fare thee well sweetest mountain
As the night comes softly down
Oh God be with you higher land
And sweet Kingwilliamstown
