                                                      CAPO  2/3

                D7 (xx0212@1)           G (320003@1)          G7 (320001@1)                   G (320003@1)name="chord_x32010@1">C CM G (320003@1)         Where dwelt an Irish colleen, who inspired the hearts of men,
                                                                    C (x32010@1)name="chord_020130@1">E7 AM
          She was winsome, fair and hearty, shy and graceful as the fawn,
          D9                  D7 (xx0212@1)   G (320003@1)              D7 (xx0212@1)            G (320003@1)         Neighbors loved the widows daughter, happy, laughing Noreen Bawn.


          Then one day there came a letter, with her passage paid to go,
          To the land where the Missouri and the Mississippi flowed,
          So she said good-bye to Erin, and next morning at the dawn,
          A poor broken hearted mother bid farewell to Noreen Bawn.


          Many years that Mother waited, till one morning at the door,
          Stood a gorgeous looking lady, all grand the clothes she wore,
          Saying Mother don't you know me, sure I've only got a cold,
          But the purple spots upon her cheeks, the tragic story told.


          There's a graveyard in Tirconnel, where the blossoms sadly wave,
          There's a broken hearted Mother, knelling on a lonely grave,
          Saying my Noreen  you are  calling, its long  years since  you've
          gone,
          It was the curse of immigration, that laid you low my Noreen Bawn.
