[Intro] The chords below represent the second half of chorus
G C G D G
[Verse 1]
G C G
Where are my mama and daddy,
C G
they came a long time before me
Em D C
Now we've come on the steamship Atlantic,
G D G
from our home far across the stormy sea.
[Verse 2]
C G
I have their letter in my pocket,
C G
they said we would meet on the pier
Em D C
But the day it is now almost over,
G D G
with the darkness and cold drawing near.
[Chorus]
Em D G
Will they know their lost little children
Em D C
As they look for my face in the crowd
G C G
It's been so long since they've seen me
D G
And I wonder if they'll know me now
[Verse 3]
C G
We gave them our four pounds and twenty,
C G
one last look at the green rocky shore
Em D C
and they told us the new world has plenty,
G D G
but we'd never see Sligo anymore.
[Chorus]
Em D G
Will they know their lost little children
Em D C
As they look for my face in the crowd
G C G
It's been so long since they've seen me
D G
And I wonder if they'll know me now
[Verse 4]
C G
Hold on to my hand little brother,
C G
be brave and please try not to cry
Em D C
We have a good father and mother,
G D G
and soon we'll be safe by their side.
[Chorus]
Em D G
Will they know their lost little children
Em D C
As they look for my face in the crowd
G C G
It's been so long since they've seen me
D G
And I wonder if they'll know me now
