Am                              C
Oh I wish I was in limerick town
Am                              C
Where the river winds past the ridges down
Am                              C
And the little lanes lead to the gathering crowd
Am                              C
In the light fall of the spring evening
Am                              C
For among its streets a love I’ve found
Am                              C
Oh, of a girl from a northern town
Am                              C
And ill never see your streets no more


Am                              C
So full of my sad thoughts of her

(Chorus)
Am                              C
And if you ever go to limerick town
Am                              C
Where the river winds past the ridges down
Am                              C
Will you seek the good friends there I found
Am                              C
And will you tell them I was asking
Am                              C
For them
Am                              C
Da-da-dee-da-da- da- daa-daa-down
Am                              C
La da dee da da da- daa-daa-down
Am                              C
La da dee da da da- daa-daa-down
Am                              C
La da dee da da da- daa-daa-down

Verse 2
Oh watch the rain drift over raheen
Or the river head a deep mist
Oh dusk has fallen over you Georgian streets
for if ever we should chance to meet


Choras
And if you ever go to limerick town
Where the river winds past the ridges down
Will you seek the good friends there I found
And will you tell them I was asking
For them
