Last eve [Bb] as I
[Gm] [F] wandered quite near To the borders [Bb] of my [C] little farm
[F] A beauty [Bb] [Gm]
there [F]
whose [Bb] lovingness caused [F] my heart's harm
By her fairing and love [Bb]-smitten song [F] And the words from her sweet lips [C] that came
[F] To [Bb] meet her I [Gm] raced the field [F] o 'er But for Ireland [Bb] I'd not [F] tell her name
[Fm] Excuse [Bb] me but my words [F] would heed The words [Bb] that I'd speak [C] would be true
[F] I'd have [Gm] her in [F] every need And indeed [Bb] on the work [F] I would do
To win one fond kiss [Bb] from my love [F] I'd reach her romances of [C]
faith
[F] Our champion [Bb] I [Gm] daily [F] would woo But for [Bb] Ireland I'd not [F] tell her name
There's [Bb]
[Gm] [F]
[Bb]
[F]
a [Bb] beautiful stately [F] young maid And from hearing [Bb] of my [C] little farm
[F] She is [Bb] welcoming, kind, [F] unafraid Her smile is [Bb] most [Gm] childlike [F] and warm
Her gold hair with masses [Bb] that most [F] Like amber in shade is [C] that same
[F] And her brogue in [Bb] her cheeks [F] like rose But for [Gm] Ireland [Bb] I'd not tell [F] her name
