DIn the summer of 1832
AThe sailing ship John Stamp
EmTied up into the port of PennsylGvania
DUp the ladder from the cargo deck
AMen and women crept
EmInto the open skies aBmbove
DDia is Muire Dhuit agus Failte Romhat
ADuffy?s my name, I cut through stone
EmWork for me, I?m one of your own
GIn dollars I will pay A7you
D57 men signed up,
ADuffy promised to fill their cup
EmIf they cut the Malvern Valley up

From Ballyshannon and The Glenties
DThey sailed right into hell
DThey Gsuffered like the Aweeping Christ
GDown Duffy?s Cut they sAweat their blood
BmInto his wishing Gwell
DWere they taken by the sickness?
DWere they hunted down like scum?
DWas there Gpoison in the Awater?
AWas it Gcholera or Amurder?
BmThe smoke that hid the Gbullets
GFrom the Dbarrel of the boss?s Gg Bmu An

DHow come the bosses had Asilence on their lips
AAs 57 IEmrish Navies were Gburied in a pit
ANo stone to mark their Emresting place
BmNo one to mourn their GpassAing

DThey sailed right into hell
DThey Gsuffered like the Aweeping Christ
GDown Duffy?s Cut they sAweat their blood
