[D] [A] [D]
Old Kelly was an Irishman, there is [A] no doubt of that.
His mother's name was Bridget and his [D] father's name was Pat.
Al Kelly came from Ireland and was learned back [G] home again.
He [D] left us Kelly's [G] mountain to perpetuate [D] the name.
Oh, the green and lofty mountain by [A] the waters of Bredore
That stood for many, many years and will stand [D] for many more.
It was the home of Kelly and beside [G] it's water blue.
[D] Because he was so [A] lonely, Kelly made his [D] Irish brew.
One day the wily devil climbed to the [A] mountain top.
Said, hey Mr.
Kelly, I'm going to [D] get a little drop.
And be gore us, sir, he'll get it.
Kelly opened [G] wide the door.
He [D] dropped the poor old devil in the waters of Bredore.
[G] Oh, [D] the green and lofty mountain by the [G] waters [A] of Bredore
That stood for many, many years and will stand [G] for many [D] more.
It was the home of Kelly and beside it's [G] water blue.
[D] Because he was so [A] lonely, Kelly made [G] his [D] Irish brew.
[A]
[D] Kelly dearly loved the Highlands but he [G] couldn't [A] live alone.
Oh, the breezes used to whisper, Kelly boy [D] must come home.
The breezes kept a-callin', kept a-callin' [G] night and day.
Tellin' [D] from the lofty [C#] mountain top they [D] learned a far away.
Now the government's building a causeway [A] over door.
The top of Kelly's mountain will make [G] a splendid [D] floor.
The rock and gravel are so good and very [G] handed too.
They are [D] blasting down the mountain [G] where [A] old Kelly made [D] his brew.
Oh, the green and lofty mountain by the [A] waters of Bredore
That stood for many, many years and [G] will stand [D] for many more.
It was the home of Kelly and beside it's water [G] blue.
Because he was so lonely, [A] Kelly made his Irish [D] brew.
