(D minor) (A minor) (E minor) (A minor)
Verse 1
Patsy (A minor) King, I'm called,
I (G major) come from Kilkenny (A minor)
Wainslashed from the west
on (D minor) the day I was (A minor) born
The land gave no money,
there was (G major) only pretties
(A minor) For us, but the landlord
grew (G major) rich on (E minor) the corn (A minor)
The sweat of my youth
mixed with (G major) rain from the (A minor) ocean
And salted the fields
where our (D minor) family walked (A minor)
I was nineteen years young
with an (G major) eye to the (A minor) future
I'm Kathleen McMahon,
till the (G major) great hun (E minor) ger stopped (A minor)
I'm (C major) a man on the road now,
with (F major) no home (D minor) fire to (G major) warm me
No (C major) county, no clan, (A minor) no (D minor) wife, no family
(G major) From the (C major) sights I have (A minor) seen,
my (D minor) country is dy (G major) ing
There's (A minor) nothing to (E minor) live for,
I'm (A minor) off to do all of these
(D minor) (A minor) (E minor) (G major) (A minor)
Me ma and pa and me (G major) lovely wee sis (A minor) ters
Had worked the land hard,
if (D minor) none of our (A minor) own
Till a fowl like Unger
came (G major) out of (A minor) nowhere
And we reaped the reward
the (G major) landlord (E minor) had (A minor) sown
For swinter was hard,
but we (G major) all pulled togeth (A minor) er
We butchered the cow,
just to (D minor) keep us alive (A minor)
But in the next year,
the (G major) prairies went black (A minor) again
T 'was the judgment of God,
we were not (G major) to (E minor) sur vive (A minor)
I'm (C major) a man on the road now,
with (F major) no home fire to (G major) warm me
No (C major) county, no clan, (A minor) no (D minor) wife, no family
(G major) From the (C major) sights I have seen, (A minor)
my (D minor) country is (G major) dying
There's (A minor) nothing to (E minor) live for,
I'm (A minor) off to New Orleans
(D minor) (A minor) (E minor) (A minor)
The black bands left Kilkis
and (G major) then the old (A minor) Brady's
Taken my future, my Catelyn (D minor) from (A minor) me
It was the worst winter
that (G major) ever hit (A minor) Ireland
As Black Forty -Seven
brought cruel (G major) gales (E minor) from the (A minor) sea
Mima, she died first,
then the two (G major) youngest withered
(A minor) Meda vowed to find work,
and (D minor) off he did roam (A minor)
Two roads come alive
with (G major) those who were dy (A minor) ing
And I lost my last sister
who had stayed (G major) there (E minor) at home (A minor)
I'm (C major) a man on the road now
with (F major) no fire (D minor) to (G major) warm me
No (C major) county, no clan, (A minor) no (D minor) wife, no family
(G major) From the (C major) sights I have (A minor) seen,
my (D minor) country is (G major) dying
There's (A minor) nothing to (E minor) live for,
I'm (A minor) off to Waldeen
Good (D minor) job, good job, good (A minor) job
