Chleamhnas Deanta

[D] A match was a [Bm] made [D] here last [G] night

To a [D] girl I [Bm] neither [D] love nor [G] like

But I'll [D] take my own [Bm] advice

And [D] leave her [G] behind

And go [D] roaming the [Bm] wild woods all [A7] over. [D]

I walked up and I walked down.

I walked Cork, and Dublin, and Belfast towns,

But no equal to my true love could I find.

She's the wee lass that's left my heart broken.

 

I got up two hours before day

And I got a letter from my true love.

I heard the blackbird and linnet say

That my love had crossed the ocean.
