[chordsandlyrics][G]Oh how lovely to be on the [C]shores of Lough [G]Ree
On a beautiful [Em]mid-summer [Am]morn[D7]ing
Looking [G]over the [G7]lake as the [C]bright waters [G]break
By the [C]hills of the [D7]County Roscom[G]mon
Lough [G]Ree oh Lough [G7]Ree where the [C]three counties [G]meet
Longford, West[Em]meath and Ros[Am]common[D7]
As I [G]strolled ‘round her [G7]banks by the [C]heather and [G]peat
they’re the [C]mem’ries I’ve [D7]never for[G]gotten[/chordsandlyrics]

I went from my home in the town of Athlone
On my way to the Three Jolly Pigeons
It was near Glassen Town on the road I sat down
And looked over the beautiful Shannon
Oh sad was the day when I went far way
To work among timber and concrete
I must name me a man, for to follow life’s span
I forsook the dear place of my homeland
If God grants me grace I’ll return to the place
When the sunset of life has come o’re me
Once gain on these shores like a bird my heart soars
As I gaze on the beauty around me
