Dan O' Hara |
| It’s here I am today God gave and took away |
| And left without a home for Dan O’Hara |
| With these matches in my hand in the frost and snow I stand |
| But here I am today your broken hearted |
| In the year of sixty four we had acres by the score |
| The grandest land a man could pull a plough through |
| But the landlord came you know and he laid our home to low |
| And here I am today your broken-hearted |
| Cushla gra mo craoi |
| won’t you buy a box from me |
| And have the prayers of Dan from Connemara. |
| Sure I’ll sell them cheap and low |
| buy a box before you go |
| from the broken-hearted farmer Dan O’Hara. |
| And for twenty years or more did misfortune cross our door |
| My poor old wife and I were sadly parted |
| We were scattered far and wide and our children starved and died |
| But here I am today your broken-hearted |
| Cushla gra mo craoi |
| won’t you buy a box from me |
| and have the prayers of Dan from Connemara. |
| Sure I’ll sell them cheap and low |
| buy a box before you go |
| from the broken-hearted farmer Dan O’Hara. |
| Tho' in frost and snow I stand beneath the shadow of God’s hand |
| It lies warm from the brow of Dan O’Hara |
| And so soon with God above I will meet the ones I love |
| And find the live I lost in Connemara |
| Cushla gra mo craoi |
| won’t you buy a box from me |
| and have the prayers of Dan from Connemara. |
| Sure I’ll sell them cheap and low |
| buy a box before you go |
| from the broken-hearted farmer Dan O’Hara. |
