Coorie Doon
(Matt McGinn)
            D            Bm           D
     Coorie doon, Coorie doon, Coorie doon, my darling
     A             D
     Coorie doon a day
            D            Bm           D
     Coorie doon, Coorie doon, Coorie doon, my darling
     A             D
     Coorie doon a day

    D       Bm       D       G
Lie doon my dear and in your ear
   D        A
D
To help you close your eyes
     D      Bm      D       G
I'll sing a song, a slumber song
  D       A    D
A Miner's lullaby

There's darkness doon the mine my darling
Darkness, dust and damp
But we must have our heat, our light
Our fire and our lamp

Your daddy coories doon, my darling
Doon in a three foot seam
So you can coorie doon, my darling
Coorie doon and dream
