Well,[D] did you ever make col[D7]cannon made with [G]lovely pickled [Em]cream
With the [C]greens and scallions [G]mingled like a [Em]picture in a [C]dream
Did you [D]ever make a [D7]hole on top to [G]hold the  meltin' [Em]flake
Of the [C]creamy flavored [G]butter that our [C]mothers used to [D7]make

Oh[D] you [G]did, so you[C] did
so did [Bm]he and so did [Am]I
And the[D7] more I think about it
sure the [G]nearer I'm to[C] cry
Oh [D]weren't them the happy days
when[G] troubles we knew[Bm] not
And or[D7] mother made colcannon
in the [G]little skillet[D] pot
 
Well, did you ever take potato cake
and boxty to the school
Tucked underneath your oxter with
your books, your slate and rule
And when teacher wasn't looking'
sure a great big bite you'd take
Of the creamy flavored soft and melting'
sweet potato cake
Chorus
 
Well did you ever go a courtin' boys
when the evenin' sun went down
And the moon began a peepin'
from behind the Hill O' Down
And you wandered down the boreen
where the clúrachán was seen
And you whispered lovin' praises to
your own dear sweet cáilín

Here are the chords for the key of G
Well,[G] did you ever make col[G7]cannon made with [C]lovely pickled [Am]cream
With the [F]greens and scallions [C]mingled like a [Am]picture in a [F]dream
Did you [G]ever make a [G7]hole on top to [C]hold the  meltin' [Am]flake
Of the [F]creamy flavored [C]butter that our [F]mothers used to [G7]make

Oh[G] you [C]did, so you[F] did
so did [Em]he and so did [Dm]I
And the[G7] more I think about it
sure the [C]nearer I'm to[F] cry
Oh [G]weren't them the happy days
when[C] troubles we knew[Em] not
And or[G7] mother made colcannon
in the [C]little skillet[G] pot
