Back to the Irish country songs
[F]She grew up in the country
with her farm and land
She[Bb] ploughed the fields and [F]fed the cows
she milked them all by [C]hand
Work[F]ing hard everyday day to [Bb]earn a few [F]pound
Then off to the dance on Saturday in the [C]Ryandale she’d be [F]found
Her [F]father and mother taught her everything they knew
The [Bb]farm one day would be [F]hers and make her dreams come [C]true
Up [F]early every morning, to [Bb]work the whole day [F]long
With her favourite music blaring listening to some old country song
Ah [Bb]Shannon from Dungannon, come [F]on and dance with me
I’ll [Bb]farm your land and [F]take your hand I’ll bring you home for[C] tea
I’m [F]falling for you Shannon, oh why can’t you [Bb]see
That I’m the boy for [F]you, and you’re the girl for me
With her new Massey tractor, she’d be [C]driving through the [F]town
[C]Come silage [F]season, she would be hard [C]found
[F]Cutting grass all day long then [Bb]get a few hours [F]kip
And [Bb]back to it the [F]next day to compact it in the tip
Ah [Bb]Shannon from Dungannon, come [F]on and dance with me
I’ll [Bb]farm your land and [F]take your hand I’ll [C]bring you home for tea
I’m [F]falling for you Shannon, ah why can’t you [Bb]see
I’m the boy for [F]you, and you’re the girl for me
Instrumental [Bb] [F] [C#] [F]
We [F]eventually got married in the [C]Country of Ty[F]rone
Her [B]mam and dad [F#]left us the farm and now it is our [C#]home
But [F#]still when Saturday comes around we put [B]on our dancing [F]shoes
And go [B]back to The Ryan[F#]dale, to dance the whole night through
Ah [B]Shannon from Dungannon, come[F#] on and dance with me

Song lyrics without the chords.
She grew up in the country
with her farm and land
She ploughed the fields and fed the cows
she milked them all by hand
Working hard everyday day to earn a few pound
Then off to the dance on Saturday in the Ryandale she’d be found
Her father and mother taught her everything they knew
The farm one day would be hers and make her dreams come true
Up early every morning, to work the whole day long
With her favourite music blaring listening to some old country song
Ah Shannon from Dungannon, come on and dance with me
I’ll farm your land and take your hand I’ll bring you home for tea
I’m falling for you Shannon, oh why can’t you see
That I’m the boy for you, and you’re the girl for me
With her new Massey tractor, she’d be driving through the town
Come silage season, she would be hard found
Cutting grass all day long then get a few hours kip
And back to it the next day to compact it in the tip
Ah Shannon from Dungannon, come on and dance with me
I’ll farm your land and take your hand I’ll bring you home for tea
I’m falling for you Shannon, ah why can’t you see
I’m the boy for you, and you’re the girl for me
We eventually got married in the Country of Tyrone
Her mam and dad left us the farm and now it is our home
But still when Saturday comes around we put on our dancing shoes
And go back to The Ryandale, to dance the whole night through
Ah Shannon from Dungannon, come on and dance with me
I'll farm your land, I'll take your hand, I'll bring you home for tea
I'm falling for you Shannon, ah why can't you see
I'm the boy for you, and you're the girl for me
Ah Shannon from Dungannon, come on and dance with me
I'll farm your land, I'll take your hand, I'll bring you home for tea
I'm falling for you Shannon, ah why can't you see
That I'm the boy for you, and you're the girl for me
Yes I'm the boy for you, and you're the girl for me
She grew up in the country

The farm one day would be hers and make her dreams come true
Up early every morning, to work the whole day long
