[Verse]
D G D
Still there's food in the field I have little doubt
G D A
They've found a solution For thinning us out
D G D
But the workhouse is full So we're packing it up
G D A D
And leaving for Cobh in the morning
 
[Chorus]
G D G D
We drink to remember, We drink to forget
G D A
We drink to put rest, To the ghosts in our heads
D G D
Who remind us of home, As we sail to new lands
G D A D
We're leaving for Cobh in the morning

Ma fell to the hunger the night before last

She gave all she had to care for the rest

But the landlord has said, There'll be no room without rent

So we're leaving for Cobh in the morning
 
[Verse 3]
D G D
In the nights you can hear the carts passing by

Delivering loved ones to homes in the sky

And I cry in my pillow, I ask the Lord why

We're leaving for Cobh in the morning
