guitar chords lyrics

The Doll Sisters

In faraway hills of Ireland
There lives a young, fair lady
I held her the day that she was born To her I sang so sweetly

But for her I would have been alone
Her mother dead and gone
She was my only heart's delight
She was my only daughter
She ran through fields of green
She laughed so gaily
Her eyes shone like silver stars
As the sun was fading
If I'd have been a richer man
With pockets full of silver
A thief I never would have been
And sent away forever

With pockets full of silver
A thief I never would have been
And sent away forever
They've sailed me to Van Diemen's Land All for a piece of bread
I'll never see my darling girl
Before I'm laid to rest
