[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
