• Lyrics:
  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 adancin'
  As the Boys all heard him say:
  
  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 abubblein'
  On Dublin Bay.
