_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Oh, where our _ _ _ _ _ _ house, _ _ _ where [G] the _ birds _
[C] do _ _ increase, _ _
_ At [G] the foot _ of [C] Mount Leinster, _ _ or [F] some _ [C] _ _ _ silent _ _ [G] _ _ _ place, _
By the streams _ of [C] _ Monclody, _ _ [F] where all _ _ [C] pleasures _ _ do [G] _ meet, _ _ _ _
[C] And all I _ _ _ _ _ _ ask is _ one _ [G] _ _ _ kiss _ [C] from you, sweet. _ _
The _ _ _ _ streams _ _ of _ _ Monclody, _ _ _ [F] they _ [G] flow _ _ _ [C] down so free,
_ _ _ _ [G] By the _ _ streams of _ [C] Monclody, _ _ _ I am _ _ _ longing _ to [G] _ _ be, _
_ _ A drinking _ _
[C] strong liquor _ _ in the [F] _ _ height [C] of my [G] _ _ cheer. _ _ _
[C] Here's a health to _ _ _ _ Monclody, _ _ _ _ [G] and the _ _ _ lass I love [C] dear. _ _ _ _ _
Look, _ Cuckoo, _ _ she's a pretty _ _ bird, [Fm] she [G] _
_ _ sings as she [C] _
flies,
_ _ _ [G] She brings _ us good [C] tidings, _ _ and [F] _ _ [C] tells us no [G] _ _ _ _ _
lies.
_ _ She _ sucks the [C] young bird's _ egg, [F] for to make _ _ [C] her _ voice [G] _ clear, _ _
_ [C] And the more she _ _ _ cries, _ _ Cuckoo, _ the [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] summer is _ near. _
_ Tis why my _ _ _ love left _ me, _ [G] as _ you may [C] _ understand,
_ _ _ [G] For tis she _ _ has a [C] _
freehold, _ _ and [F] _ I [C] have no [G] _ less. _
_ _ She has great store [C] of riches, _ _ _ and a [F] _ _ [C] large sum _ [G] of _ _ gold,
_ [C] And _ _ _ everything _ _ fitting _ _ _ [G] a _ _ _ house to [C] _ _ _ _
uphold.
_ So farewell, _ _ _ my _ dear _ _ father _ _ _ _ [G] and _ _ _ mother, _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ My _ [G] _
_ sister _ and [C] brother, _ _ _ [F] farewell. _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ I am bound _ for _ [C] America, _ _ _ [F] my _ _ _ _ [C] fortune _ to try,
[G] _ _ _ _
_ [C] When I think _ _ on _ _ _ Monclody, _ _ _ _ now [G] I'm _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] ready _ to die. _ _ _ _ _ _
