Stór mo Chroí, when you're far away from the home you'll soon be leaving
And it's many a time by night and day, your heart will be sorely grieving
The strangers' land might be bright and fair and rich in treasures golden
You'll pine I know for long long ago and the love that's never olden

[Chorus]
And you'll go on the Lady Anne o hi, on the Lady Anne o ho,
In the grey evening light o'er the waves let us go

Stór mo Chroí, in the strangers' land there's plenty of wealth and wearing
Whilst gems adorn the rich and the grand there are faces with hunger tearing
The dreary road is so hard to tread, and their city lights may blind you
You'll pine I know for long long ago and the family left behind you

[Chorus]
And you'll go on the Lady Anne o hi, on the Lady Anne o ho,
In the grey evening light o'er the waves let us go
