[Verse]
In these sad and lonely days for Ireland,
Our people shipped across the ocean wide,
They left their footsteps by the harbour walls.

And their dreams are in the hills,
And the cabins that were home,
In the fields and in the towns of Ireland.

[Chorus]
In our hearts we always will remember,
Oh, the tragedy, the hunger, their death and pain,
In our hearts we always will remember.

All the millions that were lost,
All the lives that it cost,
In those ships, those coffin ships, those ships of tears.

[Verse]
In overcrowded ships not fit for people,
The angel of death did cast its hungry eye,
For many will die upon the ocean deep.

And the children's hungry pleas,
From the thirst and disease,
In those ships, those coffin ships, those ships of tears.

[Chorus]
In our hearts we always will remember,
Oh, the tragedy, the hunger, their death and pain,
In our hearts we always will remember.

All the millions that were lost,
All the lives that it cost,
In those ships, those coffin ships, those ships of tears.

[Bridge]
Na bhfaighe barr ar a mbarr é,
Na bhfaighe barr ar a mbarr é.

[Verse]
Now their ghosts will dance upon the ocean,
Their spirits are wandering on a lonely wave,
The moon and stars will cast a loving eye.

Build a bridge across the sea,
Place a cross, in memory,
For each life that was lost in that holocaust.
