G G D Cadd9 G G Cadd9 G
Oh, then fare ye well, sweet Donegal, the Rosses and Gweedore.
G D Cadd9 D C G Em
I'm crossing the main ocean, where the foaming billows roar,
G D Cadd9 D Cadd9 G Em
it breaks my heart from you to part, where I spent many happy days.
G D Cadd9 G G Cadd9 G
Farewell to kind relations for I'm bound for Amerikay.
(Daniel O'Donnell Ladies and Gentlemen)
G D Cadd9 G G Cadd9 G
Ah, then Mary, you're my hearts delight, my pride and only care,
G D Cadd9 D Cadd9 G Em
it was your cruel father would not let me stay there.
G D Cadd9 D Cadd9 G Em
But absence makes the heart grow fond and when I'm o'er the main,
G D Cadd9 G G Cadd9 G
may the Lord protect my darling girl till I return again.
G D Cadd9 G G Cadd9 G
And I wished I was in sweet Dungloe and seated on the grass.
G D Cadd9 D Cadd9 G Em
And by my side a bottle of wine and on my knee a lass.
G D Cadd9 D Cadd9 G Em
I'd call for liquor of the best and I'd pay before I go
G D Cadd9 G G Cadd9 G
and I'd roll my Mary in my arms in the town of sweet Dungloe.
