Chorus
- Faith, it's me that's nearly crazy
- From me Tipperary daisy
- All the day me heart's "un-aisy" [uneasy]
- Sure, the thing I find
- That's on me mind
- Is the darlin' girl I left behind
- Far off in dear old Tipperary.
The term "ferninst" which appears in the second verse is an old-fashioned expression meaning "beside" (as in "she sat ferninst me").
