Darren Crossey - Noreen Bawn lyrics



There's a spot in old Tirconnell
With a wee house in the glen
Where lives a widow's daughter
Who charms the hearts of men

She was winsome, pale and hearty
Shy and graceful as a fawn
Neighbors loved the widow's daughter
Happy smiling, Noreen Bawn

One day there came a letter
With her passage paid to go
To lands where the Missouri
And the Mississippi flows

So she bade farewell to Erin
And next morning at the dawn
Said a brokenhearted mother
Said farewell to Noreen Bawn

Many years that mother waited
Till a morning at the door
Sat a garnished looking lady
Costly were the clothes she wore

She said, Mother don't you know me
She said, I've only got a cold
But the purple spots upon her cheeks
The tragic story told

There's a graveyard in Tirconnell
Where the weeping willows sway
With a brokenhearted mother
Crying o'er a lonely grave

My Noreen, oh, my Noreen.
been lonesome since you've gone
Was the curse of emigration
That left you here, my Noreen Bawn

Was the curse of emigration
That left you here, my Noreen Bawn
