      C                 Am                   C               Am
 The fondest wish that ever I had since the day that I was weaned

 Is to go back and walk again on the rocks of Merasheen

 On the hard rocks, the rocky rocks, The rocks of Merasheen

 Intro

 From out of Rose au Rue we sailed to hunt the big fish down,
 We sailed upon the ocean till we sailed the world around.
 With girls in every port of call I did go well astray
 Forsaking her I left behind Back in Placentia Bay
 By the hard rocks, the rocky rocks The rocks of Merasheen
