Colleen Malone

[Verse 1]
It’s been ten years and three since I first went to sea
And I sailed from old Ireland and home
And those hills lush and green were a part of my dreams
When I dreamed of my Colleen Malone

On the day I returned to my sorrow I learned
That the angels had called her away
To a grave on a hill overlooking the mill
Is the place where she’s sleeping today

[Chorus]
As the soft breezes blow through the meadow I go
Past the mill with the moss covered stone
Up the pathway I climb through the woods and the pines
To be with my Colleen Malone

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
She was faithful each day while I sailed far away
There was no one but me that she loved
I remember those eyes soft and blue as the sky
And her heart was as pure as a dove

For the rest of my life I will not take a wife
I will live in this valley alone
Planting flowers around in the soft gentle ground
That's holding my Colleen Malone

[Chorus]
As the soft breezes blow through the meadow I go
Past the mill with the moss covered stone
Up the pathway I climb through the woods and the pines
To be with my Colleen Malone
