[Verse 1]
                             F     
'Twas in the County Kerry, a little
           G
 ways from Clare
          Am                 C    
Where the boys and girls are merry
        F                G
 at the pattern dance so fair
    C                           
The town is called Killorglin, a 
 F               G
pretty place to view
        Am                 
But the thing that makes it 
 C                 F           G
interesting is my Bridget Donaghue


[Chorus]
    C                   F         
Oh, Bridget Donaghue, I really do 
     G
love you
  Am             C          F    
Although I'm in America, to you I
         G
 will be true
    C                      F      
And Bridget Donaghue, I'll tell 
             G
you what we'll do
     Am               C           
Just take the name of Patterson 
  F             Bb    C   Bb   C
and I'll take Donaghue


[Verse 2]
                          F        
Her father is a farmer, a decent 
     G
man is he
         Am             C         
And he's loved and well-respected 
        F             G
from Killorglin to Tralee

    C                         F   
And Bridget on a Sunday, when 
             G
coming home from mass
       Am                C     
She's admired by all the people, 
            F               G
sure they wait to see her pass


[Chorus]
    C                   F         
Oh, Bridget Donaghue, I really do 
     G
love you
  Am             C          F    
Although I'm in America, to you I
         G
 will be true
    C                      F      
And Bridget Donaghue, I'll tell 
             G
you what we'll do
     Am               C           
Just take the name of Patterson 
  F             C
and I'll take Donaghue

[Verse 3]
                            F      
I sent my love a picture, I did 
     G
upon my word
      Am           C              
Not a picture of myself, but 'twas
   F            G
 a picture of a bird
   C                          F
It was the Yankee Eagle, says I, 
            G
"Miss Donaghue
     Am                C          
This eagle's wings are large 
     F              G
enough to shelter me and you"


[Chorus]
    C                   F         
Oh, Bridget Donaghue, I really do 
     G
love you
  Am             C          F    
Although I'm in America, to you I
         G
 will be true
    C                      F      
And Bridget Donaghue, I'll tell 
             G
you what we'll do
     Am               C           
Just take the name of Patterson 
  F
and I'll take
