[Verse 1]
Black [G]as night is this heart within me
Black as coal is this grief [C]that drives [G]me
Black as bootprints on polished
hallways
And it's you who have blackened
It forever and always

[Verse 2]
For [C]you've taken [G]what's
before and behind me
East and West when
you would not mind me
Sun, moon
And stars from the sky you've taken
And [C]God, [G]as well, if I'm not mistaken

[Verse 3]
Oh, [C]Don[G]al Óg, you'll not find me lazy
Not like some [C]high- [G]born
expensive lady
I'll do your milking
And I'll [C]nurse [G]your baby
And [C]if you were [G]set upon

[Verse 4]
I'll defend you bravely
[G][Asus4]
[G]When all beside a vigil keep
The West's asleep, the West's asleep
Alas! and well may Erin weep
When Connaught lies in slumber deep
[G]There lake and plain [C]smile fair
and free
'Mid rocks their guardian [G]chivalry[C]
