Bunclody Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 OCh were I at the moss house, where the bGirds do inCcrease,

 At thGe foot of MounCt Leinster oDmr some silenGt place,

 BCy the streams ofDm Bunclody wheGre all pleasures do meet,

CAnd all I would ask is Gone kiss from you Csweet.

The streams of Bunclody they flow down so free,

By the streams of Bunclody I'm longing to be,

A drinking strong liquor in the height of my cheer,

Here's a health to Bunclody and the lass I love dear.

The cuckoo she`s a pretty bird, she sings as she flies,

She brings us good tidings, and tells us no lies,

She sucks the young birds' egg for to make her voice clear

And the more she cries cuckoo the summer is near.

Tis why my love left me, as you may understand,

For tis she has a freehold and I have no land,

She has great store of riches, and a large sum of gold,

And everything fitting a house to uphold.

So farewell my dear father and mother adieu

My sister and brother farewell unto you,

I am bound for Americay my fortune to try,

When I think on Bunclody, now I'm ready to die.
