Lyrics
As I walked out one May morning
To take the pleasant air,
I saw a pretty girl walkin’ 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.”

“That’s very nice, I’m sure,” I said,
“You do the country proud,
But would you like to take a walk
Somewhere beyond 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.

She asked me to take off my coat
And rest myself awhile,
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.”

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’d never heard,
She had learned them from her mother,
And when one song was finished,
Well, she’d start out with another.

The hours went slipping quickly by
‘Til 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’ll 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 bogged fires
And an awful lot of songs.
