First Verse Michael Shea he marched away with the Dublin Fusiliers , An' he left the town in cheers but he left his girl in tears But in the rattle of the battle Michael stood his test, An' he won a "Sargent's" uniform an' a medal on his chest. He got a two month's furlough an' he started on his way, His Irish eyes a dancin' as the Boys heard him say: Second Verse Michael Shea reached Dublin Bay when the spring was in the air, An' he found his colleen fair, an' he hugged her like a bear; He took her down to Dublin town an' Father John Malloy, tied a double knot right on the spot for Molly and her boy. Then on an Irish jauntin' car beside her bold gossoon, She learned to sing this chorus by the risin' o' the moon: Chorus Goodbye! I'm on my way to dear old Dublin Bay, That's why I'm feelin' gay, For oh! I know sweet Molly O, My colleen, fair to see, is waitin' there for me, Her heart with love a bubblin' On Dublin Bay.
