Am G Am My name is Mary Clare Malloy, I was born in County Cork Em Am At 18 years of age I sailed for the shores of old New York Em Am With seven hundred picture brides, torn 'tween hope and fear F G Am At last we spied Manhattan and the famous Isle of Tears
Verse
G Am My first taste of the New World turned to ashes very fast Em Am The ones who entered freely were from first and second class Em Am We steerage folk remained on board, as if we were exiles F G Am The captain turned the ship around and sailed to Ellis Isle
Verse
G Am We disembarked and stood in line with chalk marks on our coats Em Am X for mental illness, if E, back on the boat Em Am They asked us what our breeding was, could we read or write? F G Am The sound of women weeping at the dormitories at night
Verse
G Am My best friend was deported back to a poor Killea home Em Am Another sent to Swinburne Isle, died of cholera, alone Em Am The rest of us were shipped to trains, bound for Midwest states F G Am To wild and stormy prairie lands and our prospective mates
Verse
G Am He's American primitive man G Am In an American primitive land C G F Am Irish eyes and calloused hands G Am American primitive man
