Bonnie lass oh from Dublin town Lost her daddy this year Travelled sun to sun most of her life, loved and adored it appears Heavy hearted were drinking tonight Singing songs shedding tears Know he loved you till the day that he passed And even so longer my dear Cathy, honey won't you smile Cathy, it'll hurt for a while Cathy, my darlin' don't cry anymore Taking off oh we're setting sail Family hearts held in mind To a foreign land that's where we'll go Leaving our troubles behind Men have fallen and many in tow None forgotten in slight Dublin city oh that is her home Home to her passion and pride Cathy, honey won't you smile Cathy, it'll hurt for a while Cathy, my darlin' don't cry anymore Deliver us to the ones we know That we cannot hold And let them know That we love them so, that we love them so Hope, bring me home Hope, bring me home Cathy, honey won't you smile Cathy, it'll hurt for a while Cathy, my darlin' don't cry anymore
