[Verse 1]
Dearest [G]Mother,
I am writing just to [Am]say I
won't be [C]home
There is [D]something that I have to do,
and [C]I must d[D]o a[G]lone
[D]They [G]took me, and they put me
in this [Am]lonely prison cell
[D]Tonight my thoughts are with you
as I [C]say my [D]last [G]farewell
So [D]say goodbye to Margaret, Mary,
[G]Bridget and me all
I [C]have no words to [G]tell you,
how much I'll miss you [D]all
Although [Am]I may not sho[D]w it,
you [G]know I love you well
So [C]in my final let[G]ter,
I will [Am]bid my [D]last farewell
[G]Well, dearest brother,
won't you take good care
of [Am]all the folks for m[C]e?
Go [D]home to Rathfarnham
on [C]the day they [D]set [G]you free.[D]
I was [G]happy when you stood by me
in [Am]all that we've been through
No [D]one has ever had so true
a [C]brother [D]such as [G]you
So [D]say goodbye to Margaret, Mary,
[G]Bridget and me all
I [C]have no words to [G]tell you
how much I'll miss you [D]all
Although [Am]I may not sho[D]w it,
you [G]know I love you well
So [C]in my final let[G]ter
I will [Am]bid my [D]last f[G]arewell
Dearest brother, it's so very sad
that [Am]now we have to [C]part
To [D]understand the reasons
that [C]trouble [D]your poor [G]heart[D]
I have [G]told you since I was a boy,
it [Am]was my destiny
To [D]die a true brave soldier,
so that [C]one day [D]you'll be [G]free
So [D]say goodbye to Margaret, Mary,
[G]Bridget and me all
I [C]have no words to [G]tell you
how much I'll miss you [D]all
Although [Am]I may not sho[D]w it,
you [G]know I love you well
So [C]in my final letter[G],
I will [D]bid my last farewell
[G]In [Am]my final letter,[G]
I will [Am]bid my [D]last farewell.
