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