Tá bean in Éirinn a phronnfadh séad damh

      Am          D/A
Is mo sháith le n-ól

              Am7                 D/A
Is tá bean in Éirinn is ba bhinne léithe

   Am7   D              G
Mo ráfla ceoil no seinm théad

Atá bean in Éirinn is níorbh fhearr léi beo

Mur' bhfaighfinn ach póg

Ó bhean ar aonach, nach ait an scéala,

      Am          D               G
Is mo dháimh féin leo, tá bean ab fhearr liom

           Em               Dsus2       Cadd9
Nó cath is céad dhíobh nach bhfagham go deo

                    Am7               Bm7/D
Is tá cailín spéi - riúil ag fear gan Bhéarla,

No na táinte bó le bean a bhuairfeadh

         Em        Dsus2     Cadd9
Baile an Mhaoir is clár Thír Eoghain,

              Am7
Is ní fheicim leigheas ar mo ghalar

Bm7/D    D           G
Féin ach scaird a dh'ól
===================================================== A paraphrasing translation... [Verse 1] There's a woman in Ireland who'd bestow a charm on me and plenty to drink, There's a woman in Ireland to whom my song Is sweeter to her than the music of strings There's a woman in Ireland who'd rather I were dead than leaping, My heart beneath the sod [Verse 2] There's a woman in Ireland who'd be jealous If I were to get only a kiss from a woman at a fair Isn't it strange but I'm drawn to them all There's a woman I prefer to a battalion and a hundred of them whom I'll never have, An ugly man, without English, with a beautiful girl [Verse 3] There's a woman who'd say That if I courted her I'd have gold, And there's a woman in her best blouse She's Worth more than the cattle raids Of Ballymoyer and the plain of Tyrone, And I see no cure for my disease But to drink a torrent of ale
