[Verse]
G
Oh Bridget O'Malley,
C                          Em
you have left my heart shaken
Em              Bm
With a hopeless desolation
                  Em
I'd have you to know
Em          Bm      G
Tis the wonders of admiration
       C
your quiet face has taken
G              Am        C
And your beauty will haunt
              G
me wherever I go

[Verse]
G
The white moon oer the pale sands
C                               Em
The pale stars above the thorn tree
Em               Bm
Are cold beside my darling
                   Em
but no purer than she
G      Bm            G
I gaze upon the cold moon 'Til
    C
the stars drown in the warm sea
G                     Am
But the bright eyes of my
       C             G
darling are never on me

[Verse]
G
My Sunday is weary,
C                     Em
My Sunday it is grey now
Em            Bm
My heart is a cold thing,
G                Em
my heart is a stone
Em          Bm      G
All joy is dead in me,
 C
my life has gone away now
G              Am        C
For some other has taken my
             G
love for his own

[Verse]
G
The day it is approaching
C                        Em
when we were to be married
Em              Bm             G
But it's rather I would die than
             Em
live only to grieve
Em           Bm        G
Oh meet me my darling ere the
          C
sun sets oer the barley
G              Am        C
And I'll wait for you there on
          G
the road to Drumslieve
