I (D)once loved a (G)flower in Kil(D)kenny
and a (G)beautiful creature was (A)she
I (D)loved her far (G)better than (D)any,(G)
and I (D)know that young (A)darling loved (D)me.
Chorus
(A)She's the (D)beautiful (G)Flower of
Kil(D)kenny
Shall I (G)gaze on her fair face no (A)more?
I have (D)roamed through the (G)world and
seen (D)many,(G)
But there's (D)none like my (A)Eileen,
a (D)Sto'r -G-D-A
I re(D)member the (G)first time I (D)met her,
And I (G)gawked at her hand I pur(A)sue.
And no (D)man could have (G)felt any (D)better
(G)
When she (D)swore she would (A)always be (D)true.
Chorus
As she (D)left me she (G)gave me a (D)token,
And (G)that was an outburst of (A)tears.
And the (D)words that were (G)generally (D)spoken,(G)
They (D)remain in my (A)memory for (D)years.
Chorus
For (D)this was the (G)last of the (D)token,,
That she (G)gave with a fond loving (A)will;
And the (D)words that were (G)generally (D)spoken,(G)
They've (D)reigned in my (A)memory (D)still.
Chorus twice
