^^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
