8 Orphan Girl
Brendan Graham (1945~), arr. Desmond Earley
Words & Typesetting by Brendan Graham
I am an orphan girl,
In Westport I was found,
The workhouse is my world,
Since the praties took us down,
What time in life is left to me,
If I dont leave Westport town,
But the crown is sending girls to sea,
For far Australia bound.
Chorus
Sail me away sail me I pray
Oh, sail me away to Australia.
I am an Orphan Girloh, I am an Orphan Girl.
Chorus
Sail, sail, sail me away,
Sail to Australia;

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We are beholden to our sponsors and donors,
whose generous ongoing support enables
University College Dublin Choral Scholars to
flourish. This project would not have been
possible without the support of Denis
OBrien. We thank him for his generosity and
belief in the choral scholarship programme at UCD.
The choir wishes to acknowledge the goodwill
of UCD Estate Services; Prof Mark Rogers; Eilis
OBrien of UCD University Relations; the staff
at UCD Foundation, and the staff of the UCD
School of Music. Their support ensured this
recording project came to pass.
Our thanks to Prof Mire N Annrachin, Dr
Meidhbhn N Urdail and Dr Mire N Chiosin
for their assistance with the Irish-language texts.
UCD Choral Scholars would not be the successful
ensemble they are today without the guidance
and advocacy of Dr Dennis Jennings, Chairman
of the Advisory Board to UCD Choral Scholars.
For his sustained contribution and friendship,
they wish to express their gratitude and the
gratitude of choral scholars past and present.
