Verse1
Last G night as I lay C sleeping
A G dream came to my C mind
A G bout a place I C loved G so Am well
The D town I D7 left be G hind
And G down the years I C travelled
To G days so long a C go
I G swear to you I C never Am saw
A D face I D7 didn’t G know
Chorus
And G sometimes when I’m D lonesome
I G think of where I’m C from
On G Cuba Street where C old friends Am meet
The D Shannon D7 where we G swam
And G I can see that D old bog road
With G turf piled to the C sky
Oh G Banagher, you’ll C be G my Am town
Un D til the D7 day I G die
Verse2
A G gain I walked the C Lusmagh fields
Where G often I did C stray
And G once again I C saw old Am friends
The D friends of D7 yester G day
The G Dolans and the C Lunhams
The G Mallons and the C Ryans
What G memories these C names e Am voke
Of D far off D7 happy G times
Chorus
And G sometimes when I’m D lonesome
I G think of where I’m C from
On G Cuba Street where C old friends Am meet
The D Shannon D7 where we G swam
And G I can see that D old bog road
With G turf piled to the C sky
Oh G Banagher, you’ll C be G my Am town
Un D til the D7 day I G die
Instrumental on Bb Harp 1 Verse
Verse3
And G ‘round the town I C wandered
I G knew my way so C well
And G then I saw the C old sports Am field
Where D first I’d D7 learned to G hurl
I G heard the curlew’s C lonesome call
A G cross the Callows C still
I G watched the crows fly C ‘round G the Am ruins
Of D Wallers’ D7 falling G mill
Chorus
And G sometimes when I’m D lonesome
I G think of where I’m C from
On G Cuba Street where C old friends Am meet
The D Shannon D7 where we G swam
And G I can see that D old bog road
With G turf piled to the C sky
Oh G Banagher, you’ll C be G 》my Am town
Un D til the D7 day I G die
Verse4
But G now I’m in St. C Louis
It’s G here I’ve made my C home
I’ve G watched my life drift C slowly Am by
I’ve D seen my D7 children G grow
And G though this land’s been C good to me
And G happiness I’ve C found
Just G one more time I’d C like G to Am see
The D town I D7 left be G hind
Chorus twice (sing once, play once)
And G sometimes when I’m D lonesome
I G think of where I’m C from
On G Cuba Street where C old friends Am meet
The D Shannon D7 where we G swam
And G I can see that D old bog road
With G turf piled to the C sky
Oh G Banagher, you’ll C be G my Am town
Un D til the D7 day I G die
