Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
Lovely Leitrim
| G | C | G | D7 | G |
Last | night I had a | pleasant dream I | woke up | with a | smile |
| G | C | Am | D7 |
I | dreamed that I was | back again in | dear old Eirn's | isle |
| G | C | Am | D7 |
I | thought I saw Lough | Allen's banks in the | vallys down be | low |
| G | C | G | D7 | G |
It | was my lovely | Leitrim where the | Shannon | waters | flow |
I felt enchanted by the scene of grandeur and delight
So I strolled on to Carrig Town before the dark of night
I passed Sheepmore that fairy hill where flowers fine do grow
And I saw the grave of Finn McColl where the Shannon waters flow
I next did visit Fenagh Town with her ancient abbey walls
Where the teaching of the holy monks once echoed through her halls
I stood with reverence on the spot reluctant for to go
From the town of saints and sages where the Shannon waters flow
My eyes are dimmed and wet with tears I must be dreaming still
I thought I saw those hero's that died on Selton Hill
But the fog is lifting from the scene and I am forced to go
And leave the land so fair and grand where the Shannon waters flow
In all the lands that I have been throught the east and west
In all the lands that I have seen I love my own the best
And if ever I return again the first place I will go
Will be to lovely Leitrim where the Shannon waters flow
