Em 
night as I lay slumbering
D 
C 
D 
G 
in my silent bed alone
C 
D 
C 
Some rakish thoughts
D 
came in my head
G 
D 
which caused me for to roam
C 
D 
To leave behind my native town
Em 
C 
D 
and the wee girl I  adore
C 
D 
C 
Em 
To take a trip as I  saw fit,
G 
C 
strange countries to explore
G 
Em 
D 
And the night before I went away,
Em 
D 
I was walking over Bracca Hill.
G 
C 
D 
I met my love upon the road,
G 
D 
and her eyes with tears did fill.
C 
D 
Johnny dear, she says,
Em 
C 
D 
stay here and do not go away
C 
D 
There'll be none for to
C 
Em 
comfort me
G 
C 
when you are o 'er the sea
G 
D 
Well, I took her by the lily -white hand,
C 
D 
G 
And I held her long and fast.
C 
D 
My darling girl, I must aware,
Em 
D 
For our ship lies in Belfast.
C 
Em 
But if you prove constant, I'll prove true
C 
D 
You know I am well -inclined
C 
D 
C 
Em 
We kissed, shook hands and parted
G 
C 
And I left my girl behind
Em 
D 
C 
Em 
D 
C 
Em 
G 
And it's when we landed
D 
in Greenock Shore
C 
D 
The people all gathered round
G 
C 
D 
They said I was a rakish lad
Em 
D 
Come to cut their harvest down
C 
D 
Em 
They told me to return home
C 
D 
And to never more be seen
C 
D 
C 
Em 
That very night I took my flight
G 
D 
C 
Back to Aaron's lovely green
G 
And when Mary heard her
D 
Johnny was home
C 
G 
Her heart it did leap with joy
C 
D 
She threw herself all in his arms
G 
D 
Saying you're my darling boy
C 
D 
Em 
Oh Johnny dear, I'm glad you're here
C 
D 
For you I have thought long
C 
D 
C 
Let them all say as they will
Em 
G 
C 
Our wedding will go on
G 
C 
D 
And Bracka Hill is a lovely place
C 
D 
G 
With fine ye girls therein
C 
You'd swear they were
D 
the nightingale
G 
D 
When they sat down and sang
C 
Where the salmon trout
D 
B 
Em 
do sport about
C 
D 
Round Lough Ney's verdant shore
C 
D 
C 
So let them all say as they will
Em 
G 
C 
D 
Em 
C 
D 
G 
C 
You are mine forevermore

D 
G
