(início)
D A7 D Good-bye Mrs. Durkin, I’m sick and tired of workin’ A7 D No more I’ll dig your prates, no longer I’ll be poor A7 D As sure as my name is Barney I’m off to Califarny A7 D Instead of diggin’ praties, I’ll be diggin’ lumps of gold.
Verse 1
D A7 D In the days that I was courtin’ I was never tired resortin’ A7 D To the alehouse and the playhouse, and the other house besides A7 D But I told my brother Seamus I’ll be off now and grow famous A7 D And before that I return again I’ll roam the whole world wide.

Verse 2
D A7 D Well I’ve courted girls in Blarney, in Antrim and Killarney A7 D In Dublin and in Kerry, down to the coves of Cork A7 D But I’m tired of all this pleasure so now I’ll take my leisure A7 D And the next time that you hear from me I’ll write you from New York.
Chorus
D A7 D Good-bye Mrs. Durkin, I’m sick and tired of workin’ A7 D No more I’ll dig your prates, no longer I’ll be poor A7 D As sure as my name is Barney I’m off to Califarny A7 D Instead of diggin’ praties, I’ll be diggin’ lumps of gold.
Verse 3
D A7 D When I landed in America, I met a man named Burke A7 D He told me if I’d stay a while he’d surely find me work A7 D But work he didn’t find me, so there’s nothing here to bind me A7 D I’m off for San Francisco and Californi-yay.
