When I was young and in my prime [F] I thought [Eb] I'd [Bb] like to _ _ roam _
Like many's a fine young _ _ Irishman I [Eb] _ left my [Bb] native [F] _ _ home _
[Bb] I crossed the _ broad Atlantic _ _ and [Eb] to the Yankee [F] shore
_ _ But [Bb] I left my _ heart in Galway _ in the [F] town [Eb] of _ [Bb] Carroll
_ _ When I came to _ Philadelphia _ _ _ and [Dm] I found [Eb] a new [Bb] _ _ abode
My _ friends they _ came to meet me and they [Eb] _ treated me like [F] _ _ gold _
[Bb] The stars and stripes were all my pride [Eb] but still the tears did [F] _ flow
_ For [Bb] I miss the girl I left _ behind [Dm] in the town [Eb] of _ [Bb] Carroll _ _ _ _
My native town is of high _ renown [F] and a beauty _ [Eb] _ to [Bb] be seen
_ With _ _ buildings all both great and tall [Eb] and the trees are _ _
[F] evergreen _ _ _
[Bb] The little _ _ birds sing daily _ there and [Eb] the _ cuckoo never [F] _ _ roams
For [Bb] she's quite at home and happy _ in [F] the town [Eb] of _ [Bb] Carroll _ _ _ _
There _ _ _ _ _

is a _ faulty farm, there's rangers there [F] all in [Eb] the _ [Bb] summertime _ _ _ _
And during _ _ their long _ holidays _ [Eb] with us they do _
[F] reside _ _ _
[Bb] We greet the weary _ _ _ _ wanderer [Eb] who share our [F] happy _ _ homes
For [Bb] we're proud and _ _ independent _ _ in [F] the town [Eb] of _ [Bb] Carroll _ _ _ _
We play our regale league of football _ games [F] each Sunday [Eb] _ _
[Bb] afternoon
_ _ _ We have our celly _ dances _ at [Eb] the _ rising of [F] the _ _ _ moon
[Bb] There's loads of _ _ _ hospitality _ _ [Eb] no _ matter where [F] you _ roam _
[Bb] And you'll hear the _ gaelic language _ in [F] the town [Eb] _ _
[Bb] of Carroll
_ _ _ When the strangers _ came and their thousands _ strung [Dm] so many [Eb] _ _
[Bb] years ago _ _
We never _ _ feared their armoured cars, [Eb] their _ helmets or [F] their swords _ _
[Bb] We fought them _ and defeated _ them [Eb] and we left them lying [F] _ low _ _
[Bb] And we proved _ united, _ _ _ Irishmen, [Dm] in the [Eb] town of [Bb] Carroll _ _ _ _ _
