Flower Of Sweet Strabane by Paddy Reilly
Flower Of Sweet Strabane
Capo I
Bm A Bm
Bm A Bm
If I were King of Ireland's Isle and had all things at my will
A Bm
I'd roam for recreation and I'd seek for comfort still
A Bm
The comfort I would ask for, so that you may understand
A Bm
Is to win the heart of Martha, the Flower of Sweet Strabane
Bm A Bm
Her cheeks they are a ruby red, her hair a lovely brown
A Bm
And o'er her milk white shoulders it carelessly hangs down
A Bm
She is the fairest creature and the pride of all her clan
A Bm
And my heart is captivated by the flower of Sweet Strabane
Bm A Bm
Well I've been in the Phoenix Park and in Killarney fair
A Bm
The lovely glens of Antrim and the winding banks of Clare
A Bm
In all my earthly travels I never yet met one
A Bm
That could compare, I do declare, with the Flower of Sweet Strabane
Bm A Bm
But since I cannot gain her love, no joy there is for me
A Bm
And I must seek forgetfulness in lands across the sea
A Bm
Unless she cares to follow me, I swear by my right hand
A Bm
McKenna's face you'll ne'er more see, my Flower of Sweet Strabane
Bm A Bm
So its farewell to sweet Derry Quay, New Mills and Waterside
A Bm
I'll sail out o'er the ocean, whatever may betide
A Bm
I'll sail away from Derry Quay out by the Isle of Man
A Bm
And I'll bid farewell to Martha, the Flower of Sweet Strabane
