The 'America's Shores' story is well know to everyone here in the New World. Most of us can trace back to someone in our family who lived this story or think of someone who is living it today. There are lots of traditional songs with a similiar theme

Story behind the song
The "America's Shores" story is well know to everyone here in the New World. Most of us can trace back to someone in our family who lived this story or think of someone who is living it today. There are lots of traditional songs with a similiar theme - this one's mine.
Lyrics
I took my love, by the arm Sat her down ‘neith a shady tree We could see the bay A few miles away There I told her that I must leave. Well it breaks my heart, to have to go I’d take her with me if I could But I’ve enough in store To get me aboard If I don’t go now I’ll be here for good. Chorus So don’t cry my angel, my love. Someday I know I’ll return Sure I will write Soon as I arrive On America’s shores. I held her there, all afternoon. When evening came I took her home As she looked at me Her eyes said “Please.” But my heart had already gone. I’m still a young man, full of fire. They say America’s the place for me. Streets paved with gold That’s what I’m told There’s no gold in an old country.
