Noreen Bawn ----- D J Curtin + Lyrics

There's A Spot In Old Tir Conaill
There's A Wee House In The Glen
Where Dwelt An Irish Colleen
Who Charmed The Hearts Of Men

She Was Winsome, fair and hearty
Shining Graceful As The Fawn
Neighbours Loved That Widow's Daughter
Happy Laughing Noreen Bawn

Then One Day There Came A Letter
With Her Passage Paid To Go
To Land Where The Missouri
And The Mississippi Flow

So She Bade Farewell To Erin
And Next Morning At The Dawn
A Poor Broken Hearted Mother
Bid Farewell To Noreen Bawn

Many Years That Mother Waited
Till One Morning At The Door
Stood A Gorgeous Looking Lady
All Grand The Clothes She Wore

Saying Mother Don't You Know Me
Sure I've Only Got A Cold
But The Purple Spots Upon Her Cheeks
The Tragic Story Told

There's A Graveyard In Tir Conaill
Where The Blossoms Sadly Wave
There's A Broken Hearted Mother
Kneeling O'er A Lonely Grave

Saying My Noreen You Were Calling
It's Long Years Since You Were Gone
It Was The Curse Of Emigration
That Laid You Low My Noreen Bawn
