The work of a lifetime has been taken from me
My home and my fields confiscated by the Crown
And there's a ship, waiting for my family
It's going to take me away, somewhere unknown
My cow's been slaughtered, and now all the English
Are ransacking tonight, taking anything they want
My Grandmother's bible was thrown in the mud
They said such things are useless weight for the trip
I gaze at the ocean, thinking on my children
And my children's children, what life awaits them
Farewell, no more name, no more roots or memories
But I trust my descendants to remember this song
