In a dreary, bristled prison, where an Irish [E] rebel lay,

And he faintly murmured, Father, as he clutched him [E] by the hand,
O Father, tell me truly, shall my soul pass [A] through Ireland?
[C] Shall my soul pass through old Ireland, pass through Cork city [G] grand?
Will I see the great cathedral, where St.
Patrick [C] took his stand?
Will I see that little chapel, where I pledged [G] my heart and hand?
O Father, tell me truly, shall my soul pass [C] through Ireland?
[D]
Was for loving dear old Ireland, in this prison [A] cell I lied.
Was for loving dear old Ireland, in this foreign land [D] I died.
Will you meet my little daughter?
Will you make her [A]
understand?
O Father, tell me quickly, shall my soul pass through [D]
Ireland?
[A]
Then the Irish [D] rebel died.
