With deep affection and recollection	A
I often think of the Shandon bells	B
Whose sounds so wild would in days of childhood	C
Fling round my cradle their magic spells	B
On this I ponder where'er I wander	D
And thus grow fonder sweet Cork of thee	E
With thy bells of Shandon	A
That sound so grand on	A
The pleasant waters of the river Lee	E
	-
I have heard bells chiming full many a clime in	A
Tolling sublime in cathedral shrine	A
While at a glib rate brass tongues would vibrate	F
But all their music spoke nought to thine	A
For memory dwelling on each proud swelling	G
Of the belfry knelling its bold notes free	E
Made the bells of Shandon	A
Sound far more grand on	A
The pleasant waters of the River Lee	E
	-
I have heard bells tolling old Adrian's mole in	A
Their thunder rolling from the Vatican	A
With cymbals glorious swinging uproarious	B
In the gorgeous turrets of Notre Dame	H
But thy sounds were sweeter than the dome of Peter	D
Flings o'er the Tiber pealing solemnly	E
Oh the bells of Shandon	A
Sound far more grand on	A
The pleasant waters of River Lee	E
	-
There's a bell in Moscow while on tower and Kiosk O	I
In St Sophia the Turkman gets	B
And loud in the air calls men to prayer	J
From the tapering summit of tall minarets	B
Such empty phantom I freely grant 'em	K
But there's an anthem more dear to me	E
'Tis the bells of Shandon	A
That sound so grand on	A
The pleasant waters of the River Lee	E
