6  -6*  7*  -4  5*  -5    6      5*
On the deck of Pat-rick Lynch’s boat
-45*-55*-44* -3  -3   -3
I sit   in  woe-ful plight
 5*   -5  6    6  -7  -8   8*  8*-98*
Thro’ my sigh-ing all the wear-y day
-8-7 7* -6*7* 6   6    6
And weep-ing all the night
 5*  -5  6   5*   -7  -8  8*  8*
Were it not that full of sor-row
-98*-8-7 7* -6*7*6-6*7*6 -7-88*   
From my peo-ple forth I   go
-8 -7    7   -4  5*  -5   6  -5 5*
By the bless-ed sun ‘tis roy-al-ly
-45*-55* -45*  -3   -3 -3
I’d sing thy praise May-o
