    He fought the champ in Pittsburgh and he slashed him to the ground
    He took on Tiny tartanella and it only went one round
  • He never had no time for red, for drink, or dice or whores
    And he never threw a fight when the fight was right
    So they sent him to the war

    Fare thee well going away there's nothing left to say
    With a slainte Joe and Erin go my love's in Amerikay
  • The calling of the rosary Spanish wine from far away
    I'm a free born man of the U.S.A.

    This morning on the harbour when I said goodbye to you
  • I remember how I swore that I'd come back to you one day
    And as the sunset came to meet the evening on the hill
    I told you I'd always love you, I always did, I always will
  •  
    Fare thee well going away there's nothing left to say
    'cept to say adieu to your eyes as blue as the water in the bay
  • And to big Jim Dwyer the man of wire who was often heard to say
    I'm a free born man of the U.S.A.
    A free born man of the U.S.A.
  • A free born man of the U.S.A.
