Verse 1
Db
Ab
Black as coal is this grief that drives me
Black as bootprints on polished
hallways
And it's you who have blackened
It forever and always
Verse 2
Db
Ab
For you've taken what's
before and behind me
East and West when
you would not mind me
Sun, moon
And stars from the sky you've taken
Db
Ab
And God, as well, if I'm not mistaken
Verse 3
Db
Ab
Oh, Don al Óg, you'll not find me lazy
Db

Not like some high- born
expensive lady
I'll do your milking
Db
Ab
And I'll nurse your baby
Db
Ab
And if you were set upon
Verse 4
I'll defend you bravely
Ab

The West's asleep, the West's asleep
Alas! and well may Erin weep
When Connaught lies in slumber deep
Ab

There lake and plain smile fair
and free
Ab

'Mid rocks their guardian chivalry
