Verse 2

Am Em "Adieu," said he, "Are you sleeping or waking? C Am D G The night's bitter cold and my coat, it is thin Am Em For the storm, it is brewing, and the frost is a-waiting C Am D G Oh Katie Mulrooney, you must let me in"

Verse 3

C Am Dm7 Em "Barney," cried she, she spoke through the window C Am D G "How could you be taking me out of my bed? C Am Dm7 Em To come at this time is a sin and a shame, sir C Am D G It's whisky, not love, that's got into your head"

Verse 4

C Am Dm7 Em "A chuisle," cried he, "It's my heart as a fountain C Am D G That weeps for the love that might lay at your door Am Em Your name is more white than the snow on the mountain C Am D G Barney will die to preserve it as pure"

Verse 5

C Am Dm7 Em "I'll go to my home though the winter winds face me C Am D G And whistle the notes for 'I'm Paddy In Green' Am Em And the words of my Kathy will comfort and brace me C Am D G 'Oh Barney, a mhuirnín, I won't let you in'"
