^^COLLEEN MALONE (Pete Goble &LeRoy Drumm) G D C G It's been ten years and three since I first went to sea C D G Since I sailed from old Ireland and home. D C G With those hills, lush and green where I parted my dream C D G When I dreamed of my Colleen Malone. On the day I returned, to my sorrow I learned That the angels had called her away. To a grave on a hill overlooking the mill ( That's the place where she's sleeping today (chorus) As the soft breezes flow through the meadow I go Past the mill with the moss-covered stone Up the pathway I climb though the woods and the vines To be with my Colleen Malone She was faithful each day as I sailed far away There was no one but me that she loved. And I remember those eyes, soft and blue as the skies And her heart was as pure as a dove (chorus) All the years of my life I will not take a wife I will live in the valley alone. Planting flowers around in this soft gentle ground That is holding my Colleen Malone. (Chorus) I hope this the one you want
