    I'm a buxom fine widow that lives in a place,
        A                          E
    in Dublin that's known as the Coombe.
         A                        E
    My shop and my stall are laid out on the street,
            A        E             A
    and my palace consists of one room.

        A                         E
    By Patrick's street corner for 35 years,
         A                        E
    I stood by my stall that's no lie.
          A                            E
    And while I stood there, there was no one would dare
            A             E          A
    to say black was the white of me eye.

            A                  E
    I sell apples and oranges, nuts and split peas,
           A                      E
    bull's eyes and sugar stick sweet.
          A                     E
    On a Saturday night I sell second hand clothes,
              A            E             A
    from my stall on the floor of the street.

           A                      E
    Now I have a son Mick and he plays on the pipe,
          A                            E
    he belongs to the Longford Street Band.
              A                          E
    It would do your heart good just to see them march out,
          A         E           A
    on a Sunday to Sandymount Strand.
