Cutting the Corn in Creisla [F] the day.
[Bb] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [F] _ _ Dear [Bb] Danny [Abm] [F] I'm taking [Bb] the pen in [F] me hand
[Bb] To tell you [F] we're just [G] out of sight [C] of the land
[F] In a [Gm] big [Abm] [F] anchor line [Bb] we're sailing [F] in style [Bb] and we're sailing _ [F] away [C] from the emerald
[F] _ _ _ [A] Strange sort of sign [Db] [Dm] seems to come from as warm [G] as the waves hit the last bit of our [C] Lonnie Goyle
[F] Sure [Gm] it's good [Abm] to [Am] be you [F] [Bb] that is taking [F] your take
[Bb] Whether cutting the [F] corn [C] around Creisla [F] the day
_ [Bb] I _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Gm] spoke [Eb] to [Am] the [F] captain [Bb] and he won't turn [F] around
[Bb] But if I [F] swung back [G] I'd be apt to [C] be drowned
[F] So [Gm] I'll [Abm] stay [Am] where I [F] am [Bb] for the diet [F] is great
[Bb] And there's lots of [F] _ combustibles [C] I'll run
[F] _ _ [A] Although it is sumptuous [Dm] should I swap the whole lot
[G] For the old wooden spoon in the stirrup _ [C] outpost
[F] And [Eb] Kitty [Abm] [Am] Fern [F] is with [Bb] a wedding [F] attend
_ [Bb] Whether cutting [F] the corn [C] around Creisla the [F] day
_ [Bb] _ _
_ [F] _ There's [C] _ _
_ [F] _ _ a [Gm] woman [Abm] [F] on board that [Bb] knows Katie [F] by sight
[Bb] And we talk about [F] times [G] till the blood out [C] the light
[F] I'm to [Gm]
[Abm] meet a [F] good woman _ [Bb] tomorrow [F] on deck
Shall [Bb] we talk about [F] Katie [C] from here to [F] beach
_ [A] I know I'm _ _ _ [Dm] known _ _ [G] with her house and two cows and a brother a [C] priest
But [Gm] the woman [F] _ declares [Bb] Kitty's heart some [F] must say
[Bb] While mine's with [F] the reapers [C] around Creisla the [F] day
_ [Bb] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [F] _ Ah good [Gm] boy [Abm] [Am] dear [F] Danny there's [Bb] no more to [F] be said
For [Bb] I think the salt [F] _ water's [G] gone [C] into my head
And [F] it [Gm] drips [Abm] from [F] my eyes when [Bb] I call to [F] my mind
[Bb] The friends and [F] the collies [C] I'm leaving _ [F] behind
And [A] sure Katie herself when [Dm] she bade me goodbye
_ [C] Had just a slight [G] twinge of a tear in her [C] eye
[F] And a [Gm]
[Abm] break in [F] her voice [Bb] when she said you might [F] stay
[Bb] But please God I'll [F] come back to [C] old Creisla [F] someday _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
