[G]
An evening fire, [C] why he put [G] the earth [F] down upon [C] me,
that [G] water sign,
[C] t'was a [G]-gazing all [C] the way [G] around me.
[F] Had the [C] [G] Irishman I spied,
[Em]
[G] all through the forest, [C] all the
[G] time,
[F] he did not [C] hide and [G] sport and play.
[C] And this [G] young man was, [C] he gathered his [G] supplies,
[F] saying, about [C] [G] the day,
that's [C]
[G] not the promise that [C] you [G] gave to me.
[F] When first [C] you lay on [G] my breast,
[C] you could [G] make me believe [C] your [G] lying tongue,
that [F] the sun [G] goes in the [C] west.

[C] [G] [C] [G] [C] Go [G] home, go home, [C] [G] Miss God,
[F] go [C] home [G] and weep your fill,
[C] and think [G] upon [C] your own [G]
misfortune,
[F] that you'll go with [G] your wandering will.
[G]
[C] [G] There's not a vow, [C] [G] the town,
[F] that [C] easily [G] let us die,
[C] and when the sky [G] does fall [C] down,
the seas they're [G] bound by,
[F] why it's then [C] you're [G] mine.
