THE OLD TURF FIRE
Irish folk song
Key: A

-5   6  -6   -4  -4 5
Oh, the old turf fire
-5   6    -6    -4    -4
And the hearth swept clean
  5   -4 4  -3   4   -4  5  -4
There is no one half so hap-py
5  -5  6    5   4  5    6
As my-self and Pad-dy Keane
 -5   5  -4 -4 -4 -4  -8  -8
With the ba-by in the cra-dle
 7   -8    8   -8   7  -6  7
You could hear her mam-my say
 -6   -7   7  -8 7   -6    6 -5  -4
Would-n’t you go to sleep, a-lan-na
 -6  6 -5   -4  -4   4   -4
Till I wet your dad-dy’s tay
