Lyrics
Oh, sweet is the smile of the beautiful morn'
As peeps through the curtains of night
And the voice of the nightingale singing his tone
While the stars seem to smile with delight

Oh nature it lingers in silent repose
And the sweet breath of summer is come
While I said to [...] Seamus I knows
How sad and unhappy I am

Oh Seamus O'Brien why don't you come home
You won't know how happy I'd be
I have one darling wish love and that's you would come
And ever be happy with me

I'd smile when you smile and I'd weep when you weep
And I'd give you a kiss for a kiss
And all the fond vows I have made you I'll keep
What more can a promise than this

Does a sea have such brightness such beautiful charms
That you'll heart no leave them for me
Oh why did I let you out of my arms
Like a bird that was caged and set free

Oh Seamus O'Brien why don't you come home
You won't know how happy I'd be
I have one darling wish love and that's you would come
And ever be happy with me

Oh Seamus O'Brien I'm loving you yet
My heart is still trusting and kind
It was you who first took it, how can you forget,
That love for another you'd find

Now know if you break it what sorrow and pain
I'll [...]
If you bring it to me I shall mend it again
And trust to old Seamus to you

Oh Seamus O'Brien why don't you come home
You won't know how happy I'd be
I have one darling wish love and that's you would come
And ever live happy with me
