[Verse 1]
D A7 Kelly was an Irishman, there is no doubt of that D His mother's name was Bridget. his father's name was Pat D7 G Now Kelly came from Ireland then was lured back home again D A7 D He left us Kelly's Mountain to perpetuate the name
[Chorus]
A7 Oh, that green and lofty mountain by the waters of Bras d'Or D Has stood for many, many years and will stand for many more D7 G It was the home of Kelly and beside its waters blue D A7 D Because he was so lonely, Kelly made his Irish brew
[Verse 2]
A7 One day the wily Devil climbed to the mountain top D Said he to Mr. Kelly, "I would like a little drop." D7 G "And begorra, sir you'll get it!" Kelly opened wide the door D A7 D He dropped the poor old Devil in the waters of Bras d'Or
[Verse 3]
A7 Kelly dearly loved the Highlands but he couldn't live alone D For the breezes used to whisper Kelly boy you must come home D7 G The breezes kept a-callin', kept a-callin' night and day D A7 D Till from the lofty mountain top they lured him far away
[Verse 4]
A7 Now the government is building a causeway o'er Bras d'Or D The top of Kelly's Mountain will make a splendid floor G The rock and gravel are so good and very handy too D A7 D They are blasting down the mountain where old Kelly made his brew
[Chorus]
Oh, that green and lofty mountain by the waters of Bras d'Or
D Has stood for many, many years and will stand for many more D7 G It was the home of Kelly and beside its waters blue D A7 D Because he was so lonely, Kelly made his Irish brew
