          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.

Noreen Bawn

CAPO 2/3

G G6 G G C

+ E7AM

There's a spot in old Tirconnel, there's a wee house in the glen,

D7 G G7 G C CM G

Where dwelt an Irish colleen, who inspired the hearts of men,

C E7 AM

She was winsome, fair and hearty, shy and graceful as the fawn,

D9 D7 G D7 G

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.
