B minorBm  A augmentedA  B minorBm

   B minorBm             A augmentedA                                       B minorBm
If I were King of Ireland's Isle and had all things at my will
                  A augmentedA                              B minorBm
I'd roam for recreation and I'd seek for comfort still
                    A augmentedA                             B minorBm
The comfort I would ask for, so that you may understand
                       A augmentedA                               B minorBm
Is to win the heart of Martha, the Flower of Sweet Strabane

    B minorBm                A augmentedA                           B minorBm
Her cheeks they are a ruby red, her hair a lovely brown
                        A augmentedA                             B minorBm
And o'er her milk white shoulders it carelessly hangs down
                   A augmentedA                                 B minorBm
She is the fairest creature and the pride of all her clan
                     A augmentedA                                B minorBm
And my heart is captivated by the flower of Sweet Strabane

     B minorBm               A augmentedA                             B minorBm
Well I've been in the Phoenix Park and in Killarney fair
                    A augmentedA                               B minorBm
The lovely glens of Antrim and the winding banks of Clare
                  A augmentedA                       B minorBm
In all my earthly travels I never yet met one
                           A augmentedA                                   B minorBm
That could compare, I do declare, with the Flower of Sweet Strabane

    B minorBm             A augmentedA                                  B minorBm
But since I cannot gain her love, no joy there is for me
                   A augmentedA                              B minorBm
And I must seek forgetfulness in lands across the sea
                    A augmentedA                              B minorBm
Unless she cares to follow me, I swear by my right hand
                      A augmentedA                                      B minorBm
McKenna's face you'll ne'er more see, my Flower of Sweet Strabane

       B minorBm                A augmentedA                              B minorBm
So its farewell to sweet Derry Quay, New Mills and Waterside
                       A augmentedA                     B minorBm
I'll sail out o'er the ocean, whatever may betide
                    A augmentedA                             B minorBm
I'll sail away from Derry Quay out by the Isle of Man
                         A augmentedA                               B minorBm
And I'll bid farewell to Martha, the Flower of Sweet Strabane
