Verse 1
The Benedy Glen
Through (E minor) Benedy Glen oft at eve
have I wandered
With a heart (D major) that is lighter (G major)
(E minor) than the dew of the morn
Her heather- clad mountains
and clear crystal fountains
(D major) Delightful to view (G major) (E minor) by the light of the dawn
Verse 2
I (C major) see her green hills (G major) and (A minor) swift-
running stream (C major) lets
Eternally flowing (B minor) (E minor) right (A minor) on to the (D major) sea
(B minor) By her side I (G major) lie down (C major) on (A minor) a bank
of blue (B minor) vi ol (E minor) ets
(B minor) And its (A minor) mur muring (E minor) and
gurgling are music to me
In (C major) far foreign (G major) lands
Verse 3
oft do (E minor) her
sons (B minor) wander
By Niagara (E minor) (C major) (G major) Falls or the Prair
(B minor) ie (E minor) Grand
Where nature is (G major) seen
(E minor) both majestic (C major) and (B minor) savage
But (A minor) their hearts are at home (B minor)
in their dear native land (E minor)
They (C major) long to
Verse 4
return (G major) to the (A minor) banks of the Lena

Where there (B minor) lies brave (A minor) Cooey,
(C major) (A minor) that once- mighty chief (B minor) tain
Who (A minor) once 'gainst the Saxon (B minor)
defended with (E minor) pride
Her daugh (C major) ters are (G major) fair
Verse 5
and her
(E minor) sons, they are gallant (B minor)
They scorn (C major) the tyrant,
(G major) the (B minor) ser f or the slave (E minor)
Their (C major) rights they main (G major) tain at
the point of the (B minor) bayonet
With an (A minor) arm that is (E minor) strong

In an ab (C major) bey not far
Verse 6
(G major) from
the town (A minor) of (C major) Dungiven
Their spirit hovers (E minor) over that
(A minor) once much- loved soil (D major)
Where (E minor) there lies brave Cooey, (B minor)
(C major) that once- mighty chieftain (B minor)
Who com (A minor) manded of yore (E minor) from the

His (E minor) name oft impaired (D major) by un

Yet his soul (C major) shines in (E minor) glory 'mid
choirs of angels
As his body (Asus4) lies (E minor) moldering on the

banks of the Roe
(E minor) Long may she prosper 'neath her sheltering
mountains
Carntogher, Benbradagh and

great (G major) heaven, (E minor) defend them
And (E minor) grant them (D major) (E minor) contentment
'neath their (E minor) clear purling rills
