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