An Irish Song

歌詞

As I walked out one May morning To take a pleasant air I saw a pretty girl walking by With roses in her hair I stepped right up and I said to her Pretty girl, I think you're grand She answered me and said, of course I come from Ireland I come from Ireland That's very nice I'm sure, I said You do the Country proud But would you like to talke a walk Somewhere behind the crowd She said that was a pleasant thought So we began to roam And soon we reached a building grand Where this girl made her home Where his girl made her home She asked me to take off my coat And rest myself a while She stepped into another room Which caused me for to smile She soon came back to where I sat She didn't keep me long And sitting down beside me said I think I'll sing a song I think I'll sing a song And so this girl began to sing In a voice both loud and clear She sang of dear old Ireland The Country she held dear She sang me songs I had never heard She learned from her mother And when one song was finished Well she'd start out with another She'd start out with another The hours went slipping quickly by Till daylight all had gone The night came all around us And still she sang right on And when the morning came at last I said, I have to go It's been a very pleasant time And now this much I know Ireland has leprechauns She suffered many wrongs Ireland has peat bog fires And an awful lot of songs
