Outside her window the fog was far soon
Am G Em
It hides half of Dublin, and touch the full moon
G D
Up from the river it creeps
G E
Carrying with it relentless disease
Am G Em
Three years ago it was Mary she lost
Am G Em
Seamus, and Tom were soon laid by a cross
G D
Two little souls still in the night
G E7
This plea for salvation her nightmare refrain
A C G D
Father don't let me be taken away
Am C G D
For the love of my children, don't let me I pray
A C G D F
The black river Shannon is surely to blame in the end
G Am
When the mist comes again
Am G Em
Gone is her husband, the prodigal king
Am G Em
Abandoned the family in favour of drink
G D
And now she begs hand me down clothes
G E
Charity bread dropped paid for the stove
A C G D
Father don't let me be taken away
Am C G D
For the love of my children, don't let me I pray
A C G D F
The black river Shannon is surely to blame in the end
G Am
When the mist comes again
Am G Em
For all of the hardships that she's facing in life
Am G Em
The last thing she needs is the list every night
G D
It clings like a funeral shroud
G E7
Muffles this prayer she cries right out loud
A C G D
Father don't let me be taken away
Am C G D
For the love of my children, don't let me I pray
A C G D F
The black river Shannon is surely to blame in the end

When the mist comes again
