Teddy O Neill
Intro: G E7 A7 D7 G
I've seen the old cabin he danced his wild jigs in, as neat a mud cabin as ever was seen
Considerin' t'was used to keep poultry and pigs in, I'm sure it was always kept elegant clean
But now all around seems so sad and so dreary, all dark and all silent, no piper, no reel
Not even the sun through the casement shines cheery since shelost her darlin' boy Teddy O Neill
She dreamt but last night (oh bad luck to her dreamin') She'd die if she thought 'twould come surely to pass
But she dreamt while the tears down her pillow were streaming that Teddy was courtin' another fair lass
Och! Did she not wake with a weeping and wailing the grief of that thought was too deep to conceal
Her mother cried, "Nora child, what is your ailing?" And all she could mutter was Teddy O Neill
Will she ever forget when the big ship was ready the moment had come when her love must depart
How she sobbed like a spalpeen "Goodbye to you Teddy" with tears on her cheek and a stone in her heart
He says 'tis to better his fortune he's roving but what would be gold to the joy she would feel
If she saw him come back to her honest and loving still poor but her darling boy Teddy O Neill
(SLOW) Still poor but her darling boy Teddy O Neill
