[D] [G]
On the first day of January, 1892, They opened Ellis Island, and they let the people through.
And the first to cross the threshold of that Isle of Hope and Tears,
Was Annie Mool from Ireland, who was all of fifteen [D]
years.
[D] Isle of Tears, [G] Isle of Freedom, [Em] Isle of Fears,
[C] Isle you left [D] behind, [G] That [C] Isle of Hunger, [D] Isle of Pain,
see [Em] again, [Am] But the Isle of [D] Home is [Gm] always on [G] your mind.

_ _ _ _ In her little _ [D] bag she carries [C] all her past and [G] history,
