[Verso 1]
 
Fm 
Oh, me name is Dan Malone 
       Eb 
I've no place to call me home. 
       Fm                           Ab 
I'm an outcast in the land that I was born in. 
       Fm 
And I'm weary of the load 
        Eb 
On this long and lonely road 
     Fm               C 
How I hate to face the sunlight in the 
Fm 
morning. 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Fm 
Oh the land is rich and wide 
     Eb 
But your hunger walks beside. 
           Fm 
I'm an outcast in this proud land that 
Ab 
bore me. 
Fm 
My life is almost done 
       Eb 
Amd my courage is all gone 
Fm                     C            Fm 
For the long road that stretches out before me. 
 


[Verso 3]
 
Fm 
Then that day so long ago 
     Eb 
I met Kitty from Mayo. 

      Fm                        Ab 
Fair of face, her voice forever charmed me 
       Fm 
But she couldn't bear the load 
       Eb 
On this long and lonely road 
       Fm              C             Fm 
Now her grave lies on a hill outside Killarny. 
      Fm 
I have begged from time to time 
      Eb 
I have drunk the golden wine 
      Fm                                 Ab 
I've fought men and I've done my share of lovin'. 
      Fm 
I've met wise men; I've met fools 
         Eb 
But I've always known the rules 
Fm                C          Fm 
A tinker man must always be a movin'.

[Verso 4]
 
      Fm 
Ah, but maybe one day soon 
         Eb 
When the heather is in bloom, 
   Fm                         Ab 
I lay my head upon the scented clover. 
 Fm 
A man can't always fight, 
         Eb 
And some lonely winter's night 
Fm                   C                Fm 
I'll go to sleep; my ramblings will be over. 
 


[Verso 5]
 
Fm 
Then remember Dan Malone 
     Eb 
As I lie here all alone 
  Fm                               Ab 
Remember, too, this proud land that bore me. 
     Fm 
I can sleep my time away 
       Eb 
In six feet of pauper's clay, 
Fm              C             Fm 
No open roadway stretching out before me.
