[G] [Gm]
There's a glen in old Tearconnel, there's a cottage in that glen,
where there lived a fair [G] maiden who inspired the hearts [D] of men.
[G] She was handsome, fair, and hearty, shining graceful as the dawn.
All the neighbors [Gm] loved that widow's handsome daughter, [D] [Gm]
Noreenbaum.
So one [G] day there came a letter with her passage paved to go
to the land of [Gm] Air, Missouri, [G] where the Mississippi [D] flows.
[G] Pretty soon she'd all things ready, and next morning at the door
a broken [Gm]-hearted mother said [A] farewell to [Gm] Noreenbaum.
Many [C] years that [G] widow waited, till one evening at the door
stood a gorgeous-looking lady, costly were the clothes [D] she wore,
[G] saying, Mother, don't you know me?
Sure, I've only caught a cold.
But the purple spots upon her face, a tragic [D] story [Gm] told.
There's a graveyard [C] [G] in Tearconnel, where the flowers gently wave.
There's a broken-hearted mother, tending o'er a lonely [D] grave,
[Gm] saying, Noreen, why [G] [G] did you leave me?
It's been lonesome since you've gone.
Was the curse of immigration laid you here, [D] my [Gm] Noreenbaum?
[G] What a true and tender lady, ponder well before you go.
From your humble homes in Ireland, what's beyond you'll [D] never know.
[G] What is gold and what is silver, when your health and strength are gone?
When you think of immigration, won't you think [D] of [G] Noreenbaum?
When you think of immigration, won't you think [D] of Noreenbaum?
When you think of immigration, won't you [G] think [D] of Noreenbaum?
