Pretty Susan The Pride Of Kildare Lyrics And Chords

The band in the youtube video are called Lyncroft and the son's from the album Tired And Tested Songs Of Ireland. There's a raft of great traditional folk songs on this album, including Carrickfergus Song and the Rocky Road To Dublin. There's seems to be only one version of the song here Pretty Susan The Pride Of Kildare, it's such a good song I thought other ballad singers would of recorded it.

When[[D] from sea first I landed with[A] roving in[C] mind
Un[D]daunted I rambled my[A] true love to find
I[D] met pretty Susan with[A] cheeks like a[C] rose
And her[A] bosum more[A7] fair than the[D] lilly that grows,,,[A]
 
Her keen eyes did glitter like bright stars by night
And the robes she was wearing were costly and white
Her bare neck was shaded with her long raven hair
And they call her pretty Susan the pride of Kildare
 
Sometimes I am jovial sometimes I am sad
Since my love she is courted by some other lad
But since we're at a distance no more I'll dispare
So my blessing on Susan the pride of Kildare
