[Verse 1]
G C D G Down among the green bushes in bonnie Wood Green C D Where me and my true love we oft times were seen G C Bm Ah, the years they rolled by and so happy were we G C D G For twas little she knew that a soldier I’d be
[Verse 2]
G C D G It was early one morning and the lambs they did play C D I went to Kells barracks and then made my way G C Bm To enlist as a soldier and to fight for my King G C D G To uphold a good cause I left bonnie Wood Green
[Verse 3]
G C D G In Larne Harbour our troop ship lay ready to sail C D Mothers stood weeping while sisters looked frail G C Bm We we’re singing and dancing while fathers looked sad G C D G They we’re saying farewell to their brave soldier lads
[Verse 4]
G C D G It was way out in Flanders at the back of the line C D We were talking of sweethearts that we’d left be-hind G C Bm Said one Irish soldier, “Well, I’ve got a queen” G C D G And she works in John Rosses in bonnie Wood Green
[Verse 5]
G C D G It was early next morning when facing the foe C D And the bullets were flying and he was laid low G C Bm He called for His comrades it was a sad scene G C D G Say goodbye, to my Nelly and Bonnie Wood Green”
[Verse 6]
G C D G So if ever to Ulster you chance for to stray C D There’s a neat little factory near Ballymac-vea G C Bm Where the weavers and the winders are faint to be seen G C D G For they all wear white aprons round bonnie Wood Green
