As I [F#m] rolled out [E]
one [A] evening [G] down [F#m]
[Bm] the [A] assembly [B] line, [E] [Am] I [A] heard [F#m] two [C#m] lovers [E]
[A] speaking as me [F#m] and
my [E] love passed [A] on.
But [E] the words that passed [F#m] between [E] them, [A] they were but [Bm] fairy-tale.
[A] [E] [Bm] It's [C#m] not the leaving of limerick [E] that [A] grieves me, but my [D] darling [A] leaving you.
In the morning when [E] I am gone, [A] [D] [A] I'll take you by the lily-white [Bm]
hand, [E] and [A] I'll [C#m] wave [F#m] it o [E]'er
my [G] [A] shoulder, [Bm] [A] send you to [D] the limerick [A]
strand.
So [E]
farewell to the boys [F#m] of [E] the gate, [A] it's to them I'll bid you.
[Bm] [G] It's [A] not the [C#m] leaving [A] of limerick [E]
that [A] grieves me, but my [D] darling leaving [A]
you.

I must go [E] broken [F#m]-hearted
far [A] away [Bm] from my [E] native
[D] land.
[A] [E] No, my fond love, I must [F#m] leave [E] you.
[D] [A] You know my heart [Bm] is true.
