Lily Of The West Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

When Cfirst I came to GIreCland some Ampleasure F/Gfor to Cfind F

It's Cthere I G/Bspied a Amdamsel Emfair, most Cpleasing to my Fmind

Her Crosy G/Bcheeks and Amsparkling Emeyes like Carrows pierced my Fbreast

And CI call her lovely GMolly CO', the Amlily F/Gof the Csus4west C

One Cday as I was GwalkiCng down Amby a F/Gshady Cgrove F

I Cspied a loG/Brd of Amhigh degreEme conCversing with my Flove

As she Csang her soG/Bng delAmightfulEmly while CI was sore Foppressed

Saying CI bid adieu to GMolly CO', the Amlily F/Gof the Csus4west C

Well, I stepped up with my rapier and my dagger in my hand

And I dragged him from my false love and boldly I bid him stand

But being mad with desperation I swore I'd pierce his breast

I was then deceived by Molly O', the lily of the west

I then did stand stand my trial, and boldly I did plead

A flaw was in my indictment found and that soon had me freed

That beauty bright I did adore, the judge did her address

Now go, you faithless Molly O', the lily of the west

Now that I've gained my liberty a-rovin' I will go

I ramble through old Ireland and travel Scotland o'er

Though she thought to swear my life away she still disturbs my rest,

I still must style her, Molly O', the lily of the west.
