Chorus: Oro, oro, oro Abhaile Michael O Ro Se do Bheatha Abhaile But find us bloody work there From Donegal to the County Kerry, From Belfast City to the hills of Derry We come from Clare, from Meath and Mayo To work across the ocean Chorus I see Rossleare and the Wexford Harbor The Waterford coast with the fishing trawler We crossed Kildare right through to Carlow To work across the ocean Chorus I'm tired of leaving the hills of Galway I'm fed up with sailing away from Dublin We just left Limerick and Cork behind us To work across the ocean Chorus I'm tired of the tears from me mother Katie I'm fed up with leaving my sister Mary And my father sayin, "Take it nice and easy." When workin' across the ocean Chorus We don't need the pity of the politicians With their crocodile tears and useless petitions Just give us some work with suitable positions Stop the exodus across the ocean Chorus (x2)
