It's here I am today God gave and took away
And left without a home for Dan O'Hara
With these matches in me hand in the frost and snow I stand
But here I am today and I'm broken hearted
A chuisle grá mo chroi
Won't you buy a box for me
And have the prayers of Dan from Connemara
Sure I'll sell them cheap and low
Buy a box before you go
From the broken-hearted farmer Dan O'Hara
In the year of sixty four we had acres by the score
The grandest land a man could pull a plough through
But the landlord came you know and he laid our houses low
And here I am today and I'm broken-hearted
A chuisle grá mo chroi
Won't you buy a box for me
And have the prayers of Dan from Connemara
Sure I'll sell them cheap and low
Buy a box before you go
From the broken-hearted farmer Dan O'Hara
For twenty years or more did misfortune cross me door
Me poor old wife and I were sadly parted
We were scattered far and wide and our children starved and died
But here I am today and I'm broken-hearted
A chuisle grá mo chroi
Won't you buy a box from me
And have the prayers of Dan from Connemara.
Sure I'll sell them cheap and low
Buy a box before you go
From the broken-hearted farmer Dan O'Hara
Tho' in frost and snow I stand beneath the shadow of God's hand
It lies warm from the brow of Dan O'Hara
And so soon with God above, I will meet the ones I love
And find the life I lost in Connemara
A chuisle grá mo chroi
Won't you buy a box from me
And have the prayers of Dan from Connemara
Sure I'll sell them cheap and low
Buy a box before you go
From the broken-hearted farmer Dan O'Hara
A chuisle grá mo chroi
Won't you buy a box from me
And have the prayers of Dan from Connemara
Sure I'll sell them cheap and low
Buy a box before you go
From the broken-hearted farmer Dan O'Hara
