Happy St. Patrick's Day

In the merry month of June, when first from home I started,
And left the girls at home alone and broken hearted,
Shook hands with my father dear, kissed my darlin' mother,
Drank a pint of beer, my tears and grief to smother;
Then off to reap the corn, and leave where I was born.
