[Verse 1]
An CIrish Gboy was Cleaving
FLeaving his G7native Chome
FCrossing the G7broad At Clantic
Once mDore he D7wished to G7roam
And Cas he was Gleaving his Cmother
Who was  FstandinDg at the  Cquay
She Fthrew her G7arms aroCund his  Amwaist
And  Fmthis to A7him did  Csay
[Chorus]
A Cmother's lGove's a bClessing
No Fmatter G7where you Croam
KeFep her G7while she's Cliving
You'll Dmiss her D7when she's G7gone
CLove her Gas in cChildhood
Though fFeeble G7old and Cgrey
FFor you'll G7never miss Cyour mother's Amlove
Till she's Fmburied bG7eneath the Cclay
[Verse 2]
And Cas the yGears grow Colder
I'll Fsettle G7down in Clife
And Fchoose G7a nice young Ccolleen
And Dtake her D7for mGy wG7ife
And Cas the Gbabies grow Colder
And Fclimb aG7round my Cknee
I'll Fteach them G7the very Csame lessoAmn that
My Fmmother tG7aught to Cme

Though fFeeble G7old and Cgrey
FFor you'll G7never miss Cyour mother's Amlove
Till she's Fmburied bG7eneath the Cclay
