Our barque leaves this harbour tomorrow Across the wide ocean to go And Katie, a burden of sorrow It is more than I wish you to know Fare the well to the green shores of Fogo Fare thee well Katie, dear true and kind For where e'er I may be, I'll be true to thee Since old Fogo I'm leaving behind Now Katie, give over your sighing And don't be downhearted for me It's my fortune I'm after seeking In a far distant land o'er the sea There's a dark cloud of sorrow hanging o'er me There's a precious great weight on my mind For I know there's one loving me truly In old Fogo I'm leaving behind
