[Intro]
G C D C G
[Verse]
G C D C G
Oh, come on, you, loyal heroes wherever you may be,
G Em G C D
don't hire with any master 'till you know what your work will be.
G Em G C D
For you must rise up early from the clear daylight till the dawn
G C D C G
and I know you'll ne'er be able to plough the rocks of bawn.
[Verse]
G C D C G
Well, it's rise up, lovely Sweeney and give your horse some hay.
G Em G C D
Yes, give him a good feed of oats before you ride away.
G Em G C D
Don't feed him on soft turnips, put him out on your green lawn
G C D C G
and I know you'll ne'er be able to plough the rocks of bawn.
[Verse]
G C D C G
Well, my curse upon you, Sweeney, for you have me nearly robbed,
G Em G C D
a-sittin' by the fireside with your dudeen in your gob.
G Em G C D
You're sitting by the fireside from the clear daylight till the dawn,
G C D C G
and I know you'll ne'er be able to plough the rocks of bawn.

[Verse]
G C D C G
Now my shoes they are well worn out and my stockings they are thin,
G Em G C D
my heart is always trembling for fear that you let in.
G Em G C D
Yes, my heart is always trembling from the clear daylight till the dawn
G C D C G
and I know you'll ne'er be able to plough the rocks of bawn.
[Verse]
G C D C G
Now, I wish the queen of England would write to me in time
G Em G C D
and put me in some regiment all in my youth and prime.
G Em G C D
I'd fight for Ireland's glory from the clear daylight till the dawn
G C D C G
and I never would return again to plough the rocks of bawn.
G C D C G
No, I never would return again to plough the rocks of bawn.
[Outro]
