     G                 C           G
For often I sailed to bonny Ram's Island
C          G
Arm in arm with Phelim, my diamond.
          Em         C        G
He would whistle and I would sing
C              D      G
And we would make the whole island ring.
G  Em    D  G
Ochone, ochone
G  Em    D  G
Ochone, ochone.

"I'm going," he said, "from bonny Ram's Island
                    C        G
Out and across the deep blue sea
Em        C       G
And if in your heart you love me
Mary
C       D      G
Open your arms at last to me."

Ochone, ochone
G  Em    D  G
Ochone, ochone.

'Twas pretty to be in Ballinderry

But now it's as sad as sad can be
Em          C          G
For the ship that sailed with Phelim, my diamond
C       D       G
Is sunk forever beneath the sea.
G  Em    D  G
Ochone, ochone
G  Em    D  G
Ochone, ochone.
