Colleen Malone Lyrics

INTRO: C
It's been ten years and three since I first went to sea
Since I've sailed from old Ireland and home
But those hills lush and green were a part of my dream
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
That's 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 vines
To be with my Colleen Malone
She was faithful each day as I sailed far away
There was no one but me that she loved
And I remember those eyes, soft and blue as the skies
And her heart was as pure as a dove
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 vines
To be with my Colleen Malone
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C F C G C F C F G C
All the years 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 vines
To be with my Colleen Malone
Up the pathway I climb, through the woods and the vines
To be with my Colleen Malone
