I was on the road to Bandon one morning in July,

I said I am a stranger, I'm lonesome and alone,
D G A D
Would you kindly tell me where I'll find that little Blarney Stone?
[Chorus]

There's a Blarney Stone in Kerry, a Blarney Stone in Clare,
D A
A Blarney Stone in Wicklow, and there's plenty in Kildare.

A Blarney Stone in Sligo, and a big one in Athlone.

Yerra, the devil a town in Ireland you will find a Blarney Stone.

Oh She gave me a smile, she winked a roguish eye.

I rolled her in my arms, and never made a moan
D G A D
I kissed the bloomin' roses from the Bandon Blarney Stone.

As long as you're a stranger where the River Shannon flows,

The only Blarney Stone I know is underneath my nose.
