Sure it's poor I am today for God gave and took away And He left without a home poor Dan O'Hara. With these matches in my hand in the frost and snow I stand, So it's here I am today your broken hearted. Chorus Achuslageal mo chree, Won't you buy a box from me And you'll have the prayers of Dan from Connemara, I'll seil them cheap and low, Buy a box before you go From the poor old broken farmer Dan O'Hara.
In the year of sixty four I had acres by the score And the grandest land you ever ran a plough through. But the lancllord came you know and he laid our old home low, So it's here I am today your brokenhearted. Chorus Achuslageal mo chree, . . .
For twenty years or more did misfortune cross our door. And my poor old wife and I were sadly parted. We were scattered far and wide and our children starved and died. So it's here I am today you brokenhearted. Chorus Achuslageal mo chree, . . .
Tho' in frost and snow I stand sure the shadow of God's hand. It lies warm about the brow of Dan O'Hara. And soon with God above I will meet the ones I love, And I'll find the joys I lost in Connemara. Chorus Achuslageal mo chree, . . .
