Flower of Sweet Strabane chordsIrish TraditionalCapo IBm A BmBm A BmIf I were King of Ireland's Isle and had all things at my willA BmI'd roam for recreation and I'd seek for comfort stillA BmThe comfort I would ask for, so that you may understandA BmIs to win the heart of Martha, the Flower of Sweet StrabaneBm A BmHer cheeks they are a ruby red, her hair a lovely brownA BmAnd o'er her milk white shoulders it carelessly hangs downA BmShe is the fairest creature and the pride of all her clanA BmAnd my heart is captivated by the flower of Sweet StrabaneBm A BmWell I've been in the Phoenix Park and in Killarney fairA BmThe lovely glens of Antrim and the winding banks of ClareA BmIn all my earthly travels I never yet met oneA BmThat could compare, I do declare, with the Flower of Sweet StrabaneBm A BmBut since I cannot gain her love, no joy there is for meA BmAnd I must seek forgetfulness in lands across the seaA BmUnless she cares to follow me, I swear by my right handA BmMcKenna's face you'll ne'er more see, my Flower of Sweet StrabaneBm A BmSo its farewell to sweet Derry Quay, New Mills and WatersideA BmI'll sail out o'er the ocean, whatever may betideA BmI'll sail away from Derry Quay out by the Isle of ManA BmAnd I'll bid farewell to Martha, the Flower of Sweet StrabaneSet8
