Verse 1
Have you (A minor)
ever walked the lone (E minor) some hills and (A minor) heard the curlews (E minor) cry?
Or seen (A minor) the raven black (E minor) as night
upon (A minor) a windswept sky?
To walk the purple heather and
hear the westwind (E minor) cry
To know (A minor) that's where the
(E minor) rapparee must (A minor) die

Since Cromwell pushed us (E minor) westward

A curse upon (A minor) you Oliver (E minor) Cromwell,
you who (A minor) raped our Motherland (E minor)

(A minor) Of one such man I'd like to (E minor) speak
a rappar (A minor) ee by name and (E minor) deed
His family dis (A minor) possessed and slaughtered (E minor)

His name is known in song and (E minor) story
and his (C major) deeds are legends (E minor) still
And (A minor) murdered for blood (E minor) money
was (A minor) young Ned of the hill
Verse 5
And you've robbed our homes and (E minor) for tunes,
even (A minor) drove us from the land
(E minor) You tried (A minor) to break our spir (E minor) it
but (A minor) you'll never understand
The love of dear old (E minor) Ireland
that will forge (C major) an iron (E minor) will
As (A minor) long as there are gal (E minor) lant men
like (A minor) young Ned of the hill
Verse 6

A curse upon you Oliver Crom (E minor) well,

To our misfortunate forefathers
whom you (C major) robbed of their birthright
(E minor) "To hell or Connaught" (A minor) may you (E minor) burn in hell tonight (A minor)
