Across the Irish Sea
In a cell in Liverpool
I sit so lonely
I wish I was back home again
Across the Irish Sea
I killed a man in a row
Mad as I could be
He mocked my home and all I love
Across the Irish Sea
'47 was so black, my rent I could not pay
My landlord bought my fare and I sailed away
And now I sit in this jail
There's no hope for me
I know my clan can hear me cry
Across the Irish Sea
Across the Irish Sea
