Mountians O Mourne Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

OhG, Mary, this London's a wondCerful sight Am

WiD7th people here working byG day and by night

ThCey don't sow Ampotatoes nor barley nor wheat

BuD7t there's gangs of them diggGin' for gold in the street

AtD7 least when I asked them, that's wGhat I was tolEmd

SoG I just took a hEmand at this digAmgin' for gold D7

BuGt for all that I've found thereC, I might as welAml be

InD7 the place where the dark Mourne sweeGps down to the sea

Verse 2

I believe that when writin' a wish you expressed

As to how the fine ladies of London were dressed

But if you'll believe me, when asked to a ball

They don't wear no tops to their dresses at all

Oh, I've seen them myself and you could not in truth

Tell if they were bound for a ball or a bath

Don't be startin' them fashions now, Mary McRee,

In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea

Verse 3

There's beautiful girls here, oh, never you mind

Beautiful shapes Nature never designed

Lovely complexions of roses and cream

But let me remark with regard to the same

That if at those roses you venture to sit

The colors might all come away on your lip

So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin' for me

In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea

Verse 4

You remember young Diddy McClaren, of course

But he's over here with the rest of the force

I saw him one day as he stood on the strand

Stopped all the traffic with a wave of his hand

As we were talking of days that are gone

The whole town of London stood there to look on

But for all his great powers, he's wishful like me

To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea
