[Verse 1]
GDG
There's a glen in old Tir Conaell,
G7CE7
There's a cottage in the glen,
AmDGEm
Where dwelt an Irish colleen,
A7Am7D
who charmed the hearts of men,
GDG
She was winsome hale and hearty,
G7CE7
shy and graceful as a fawn
AmDGEm
It was that widow's daughter,
AmDGAm7D7
happy laughing Noreen Bawn.
[Verse 2]
GDG
Till one day there came a letter,
G7CE7
with her passage paid to go,
AmDGEm
To the land where the Missouri,
A7Am7D
and the Mississippi flows,
GDG
So she bade farewell to Erin
G7CE7
and next morning at the door,
AmDGEm
A poor broken hearted mother
AmDGD#
bid farewell to Noreen Bawn.
[Verse 3]
G#D#G#
Many years that widow waited,
G#7C#F7
till one morning at the door,
A#mD#G#Fm
Stood a gorgeous looking lady,
A#7A#m7D#
costly were the clothes she wore,
G#D#G#
Saying mother oh, don't you know me,
G#7C#F7
for I've only got a cold,
A#mD#G#Fm
But those scarlet spots upon her cheeks,
A#mD#G#E
the tragic story told.
[Verse 4]
AEA
Theres a graveyard in Tir Conaill,
A7DF#7
where the blossoms sadly sway
BmEAF#m
There's a broken hearted mother,
BBm7E7
kneeling o'er that lonely grave.
AEA
Oh Noreen, she is calling
A7DF#7
Sure is lonesome since you've gone,
BmEAF#m
T'were the curse of emigration,
BmEA
laid you low my Noreen Bawn
[Outro]
BmEAF#m
T'were the curse of emigration,
N.C. Bm
That laid you low
N.C. E N.C.
my Noreen
