A7    D          Bm       D     G
Tá mo chleamhnas déanta ó athrú aréir
    D         Bm             D          G
S'ní mó ná go dtaithníonn an bhean liom féin
  D                  Bm
Ach fágfaidh mé i mo dhiaidh í
   D                 G
'gus imeoidh mé liom féin
   D      Bm       A7     D
Ar fud na gcoillte craobhach

D          Bm       D         G
My match it was made here last night
    D       Bm       D       G
To a girl I neither love nor like
    D          Bm
But I'll take my own advice
    D         G
And leave her behind
      D           Bm           A7     D
And go roaming the wild woods all over

[Verse 2]
      D         Bm       D         G
Shiúil mise thoir agus shiúil mise thiar
      D         Bm         D            G
Shiúil mise Corcaigh 'gus sráide Bh'l'áth Cliath
     D            Bm       D          G
Ach sámhail de mo chailin deas ni fhaca mise riamh
       D            Bm            A7    E
'Si an bhean dubh a dhfhág mo chroí cráite

E        C#-     E       A
I walked up and I walked down
E        C#-        E          A
I walked Cork, and Dublin, and Belfast towns
      E          C#-         E       A
But no equal to my true love could I find
          E              C#-      B      E
She's the wee lass that's left my heart broken

[Verse 3]
E        C#-     E       A
D'éirigh mé ar maidin dhá uair roimh an lá
E        C#-     E       A
'gus fuair mé litir ó mó mhile ghrá
E        C#-     E       A
Chuala mé an smóilin 's an londubh á rá
    E          C#-      B    E
Gur ealiagh mo ghrá thar sáile

E        C#-     E       A
I got up two hours before day
 E            C#-     E          A
And I got a letter from my true love
  E        C#-            E       A
I heard the blackbird and linnet say
     E          C#-         B    E
That my love had crossed the ocean
