[Verse 1]
D#
She lived beside the Anner,
G# D#
At the foot of Slievna-man,
G# A# Cm
A# gentle peasant girl,
G# A#
With mild eyes like the dawn;
D# G# D#
Her lips were dewy rosebuds;
G# A# Cm
Her teeth of pearls rare;
G# Gm
And a snow-drift 'neath a beechen bough
G# A# D#
Her neck and nut-brown hair
[Verse 2]
D#
How pleasant was to meet her
G# D#
On Sunday when the bell
G# A# Cm
Was filling with its mellow tone
G# A#
Lone wood and grassy dell,
D# G# D#
And when at eve young maidens
G# A# Cm
Strayed the river bank along,
G# Gm
The widow's brown-haired daughter,
G# A# D#
Was loveliest of the throng
[Chorus]
A# Gm
O brave, brave Irish girls-
G# D#
We well may call you brave!-
Cm Gm
Sure the least of all your perils
G# A#
Is the stormy ocean wave,
A# Gm
When you leave our quiet valleys,
G# D#
And cross the Atlantic's foam
Cm Gm
To hoard your hard-won earnings,
Cm A# D#
For the helpless ones at home.
[Verse 3]
D#
"Write word to my own dear mother,
G# D#
Say we'll meet with God above;
G# A# Cm
And tell my little brothers,
G# A#
I send them all my love;
D# G# D#
May the angels ever guide them
G# A# Cm
Is their dying sister's prayer"-
G# Gm
And folded in a letter
G# A# D#
Was a braid of nut-brown hair
[Verse 4]
D#
Ah cold and well-nigh callous,
G# D#
This weary heart has grown,
G# A# Cm
For thy helpless fate, dear Ireland
G# A#
And for sorrows of my own
D# G# D#
Yet a tear, my eye will moisten
G# A# Cm
When by Anner side I stray,
G# Gm
For the lily of the mountain foot,
G# A# D#
That withered far away
[Chorus]
A# Gm
O brave, brave Irish girls-
G# D#
We well may call you brave!-
Cm Gm
Sure the least of all your perils
G# A#
Is the stormy ocean wave,
A# Gm
When you leave our quiet valleys,
G# D#
And cross the Atlantic's foam
Cm Gm
To hoard your hard-won earnings,
Cm A# D#
For the helpless ones at home.
