If I Never See Ireland Again
Recorded by Red Steagall
Written by Steve Spurgin

C                      G7
Molly stood crying her tears falling down 
       F                     G7
Like a storm on a cold Irish sea
  C                             G7
I said my darling Molly are you just bound to go 
          F                        G7
Don’t you care for your mother and me

       F                         C
I said Molly you know you’re the love of my life
         F                     G7
And I’ve no plans to leave you behind
                               C
When I’m America bound when my fortune is found
     G7                        C
I’ll send for you both in good time

     F         C       G7
If I never see Ireland again
F                   C          G7
I’ll still have the love of my family and friends
   F        C              G7       Am
To carry me safely to that far away shore
C          F                  G7
Where I’ll have a new life to begin 
     F         G7      C
If I never see Ireland again

                               G7
With a handful of soil from my daddy’s cold grave
      F                         C
And a bag that holds all that I am
                          G7
I trust that the Lord the wind and the waves
     F                     G7
Will guide me toward a new home

        F                        C
And the posters all say that the west is the wave
    F                           G7
The land where my soul longs to be
                                 C
Where the sky never ends and the big river bends 
    G7                       C
The country is wild and it’s free

Repeat #3

         Am                Em
Collin’s letter said lad I know you well 
         F                       C
But come join me I’ll be headin’ west
      Am                        Em
A new world to be found and its glorious ground
      F                         G7
For a man who can just pass the test

Repeat #3 x2
