G C Am
There's one fair county in Ireland
D D7 G
With memories so glorious and grand

Where nature has lavished her beauty
D D7 G
In the orchards of Erin's green land

I love it's Cathedral city
D D7 G
once founded by Patrick so true

And it bears in the heart of it's bosom
D D7 G
The ashes of Brian Boru
[Chorus]
G Am G
It's my own Irish home
E7 Am
Far across the foam

And though I've often left it
G C G
In foreign lands to roam
Am G
No matter where I wander
E7 Am
Through cities near and far
G C Am
Sure my heart is at home in old Ireland
D D7 G
In the county of Armagh

I've travelled that part of the county
D D7 G
Through Newtown, Forkhill, Crossmaglen

Around the gap of Mount Norris
D D7 G
And home by Blackwater again

Where girls are so fair and so hearty
D D7 G
None fairer in Erin Go Bragh
C Am
But where are the boys that can court them
D D7 G
like the boys from the county Armagh
