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 Set8
