this is an old song
[Intro]
Em C G D x4
[Verse 1]
Em C G D
As I roved out one evening as Sol cast his rays
Em C G D
Behind yon western mountains and the wide western seas
Em C G D
I carelessly roved out, my leisure hours to pass
Em C G D
For to view the Shannon water that flows through Doonass
Em C G D
My mind was enraptured at this enchanting scene
Em C G D
Such a place in all Ireland, there is not I ween
Em C G D
Proud, beautiful and crystal bright, shining like glass
Em C G D
Is that pure Shannon water that flows through Doonass
[Chorus]
Em C G D
In Doonass I was born and ‘tis there I’d like to die
Em C G D
And down in its old churchyard, my old bones lie
Em C G D
For if fortune proves in favour, the seas I ne’er will cross
Em C G D
Nor bid adieu to Clonlara, Castleconnell or Doonass
[Verse 2]
Em C G D
Have you been to Killarney, the Causeway or Quay
Em C G D
The proud bay of Dublin, Loophead or Kinsale ?
Em C G D
The city cove of Cork seems but shadows or gas
Em C G D
When compared to the proud rolling falls of Doonass
Em C G D
And if you’re tired of walking, proceed on further still
Em C G D
To the right of Massey’s mansion, ‘tis there you’ll get your fill
Em C G D
And when you reach the summit, come fill up your glass
Em C G D
Drink a health, wealth and honour to the falls of Doonass
[Chorus]
Em C G D
In Doonass I was born and ‘tis there I’d like to die
Em C G D
And down in its old churchyard, my old bones lie
