Oh, then fare ye well, sweet Donegal, the Rosses and Gweedore.
G      D        Cadd9     D  C                G        Em
I'm crossing the main ocean, where the foaming billows roar,
G            D      Cadd9         D  Cadd9              G      Em
it breaks my heart from you to part, where I spent many happy days.
G           D    Cadd9   G         G    Cadd9     G
Farewell to kind relations for I'm bound for Amerikay.
          (Daniel O'Donnell Ladies and Gentlemen)

G              D         Cadd9        G  G       Cadd9        G
Ah, then Mary, you're my hearts delight, my pride and only care,
G           D    Cadd9 D       Cadd9   G        Em
it was your cruel father would not let me stay there.
G           D         Cadd9      D       Cadd9      G         Em
But absence makes the heart grow fond and when I'm o'er the main,
G            D          Cadd9   G         G  Cadd9  G
may the Lord protect my darling girl till I return again.

G              D      Cadd9     G       G      Cadd9  G
And I wished I was in sweet Dungloe and seated on the grass.
G         D      Cadd9      D     Cadd9    G      Em
And by my side a bottle of wine and on my knee a lass.
G            D      Cadd9    D     Cadd9    G      Em
I'd call for liquor of the best and I'd pay before I go
G               D    Cadd9   G         G      Cadd9  G
and I'd roll my Mary in my arms in the town of sweet Dungloe.
