| [00:18.608] |
Last eve as I wandered quiet near |
| [00:25.610] |
To the border's of my little farm |
| [00:33.355] |
A beautiful maiden appeared |
| [00:40.625] |
Whose loveliness caused my heart's harm |
| [00:47.366] |
|
| [00:55.300] |
By her daring and love smitten sour |
| [01:02.803] |
And the words from her sweet lips that came |
| [01:10.048] |
To meet her I raced the field o'er |
| [01:17.051] |
But for Ireland I'd not tell her name |
| [01:18.034] |
|
| [01:25.048] |
If this beauty but my words would heed |
| [01:32.543] |
The words that I speak would be true |
| [01:40.976] |
I'd help her in every need |
| [01:42.486] |
And indeed all her work I would do |
| [01:45.233] |
|
| [01:47.228] |
To win one fond kiss from my love |
| [01:54.492] |
I'd read her romances of fame |
| [02:01.478] |
Her champion I daily would prove |
| [02:08.978] |
But for Ireland I'd not tell her name |
| [02:16.221] |
|
| [02:31.482] |
There's a beautiful stately young maid |
| [02:38.726] |
At the nearing of my little farm |
| [02:46.222] |
She's welcoming kind unafraid |
| [02:53.223] |
Her smile is both childlike and warm |
| [03:00.472] |
|
| [03:01.222] |
Her gold hair in masses that grows |
| [03:07.969] |
Like amber and sheen is that same |
| [03:15.473] |
And the bloom in her cheeks like the rose |
| [03:22.723] |
But for Ireland I'd not tell her name |
