“I am going far away, Nora darling,
And leaving such an angel far behind;
And it breaks my heart in two, which I fondly gave to you,
And no other one so loving, kind, and true.

Chorus:
Come into my arms, Nora darling,
Bid your friends in old Ireland goodbye,
And tis happy we will be, in the dear land of the free,
Living happy with you, Barney McCoy.”

“I would go with you, Barney, my darling,
If my mother and the rest of them agree;
But ‘twould break my mother's heart, if from her I had to part,
And go roving with you, Barney McCoy."

“I am going far away, Nora darling,
Just as sure as there’s a God that I adore.
And remember what I say, not until the Judgement Day,
You won’t ever see your Barney anymore.”

Chorus:
Come into my arms, Nora darling,
Bid your friends in old Ireland goodbye,
And tis happy we will be, in the dear land of the free,
Living happy with you, Barney McCoy.”

“I will go with you, Barney, my darling,
If my mother and the rest of them agree;
For I know we would be blessed, in the dear land of the west,
Living happy with you, Barney McCoy.”

Chorus:
Come into my arms, Nora darling,
Bid your friends in old Ireland goodbye,
And tis happy we will be, in the dear land of the free,
Living happy with you, Barney McCoy.”

“I am going far away, Nora darling,
And the ship is now anchored in the bay;
And before tomorrow's sun, you will hear the signal gun,
So, be ready, it will carry us away.”

Chorus:
Come into my arms, Nora darling,
Bid your friends in old Ireland goodbye,
And tis happy we will be, in the dear land of the free,
Living happy with you, Barney McCoy.”
