D A In the days when I was courtin', D I was seldom done resortin' A In the ale house and the playhouse, D And many's the house between A I told me brother Seamus, D I'll go off and get right famous, A And when I come back home again, D I'll have seen the whole wide world And it's goodbye, Muirshin Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin' I'll no more dig the praties, I'll no longer be a fool As sure as me name is Carney, I'll go off to California And instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold Farewell to all the girls at home, I'm bound away across the foam Off to seek me fortune In far Amerikay There's silver there a-plenty, For the poor and for the gentry And when I come back home again, I never more will say, Goodbye, Muirshin Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin' I'll no more dig the praties, I'll no longer be a fool As sure as me name is Carney, I'll go off to California Where instead of diggin' praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold And goodbye, Muirshin Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin' I'll no more dig the praties, I'll no longer be a fool As sure as me name is Carney, I'll go off to California Where instead of diggin' praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold Goodbye, Muirshin Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin' I'll no more dig the praties, No more be a fool As sure as me name is Carney, I'll go off to California Where instead of diggin' praties, I'll be diggin' lumps of gold | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
