Dancing 'Neath The Irish Moon 1915

There's a little spot in Ireland,
There's a little village green,
On a summer night when the stars are bright,
There's a happy gathering seen.
Ev'ry laddie in the village
Brings the colleen of his heart,
When the moon shines high up in the sky
It's then the fun will start:

Dancing underneath the Irish moon,
While the pipers play an Irish tune,
Just see them sway
each Irish heart so gay,
It's "Clickety Click" go the Irish heels,
to the melody of those Irish reels,
and listen to the "Wearing of the Green"
sung by ev'ry laddie and colleen,
Sure it's by Killarney's Lakes they're dancing
Dancing 'neath The Irish Moon.

Dancing underneath the Irish moon,
While the pipers play an Irish tune,
Just see them sway
each Irish heart so gay,
It's "Clickety Click" go the Irish heels,
to the melody of those Irish reels,
and listen to the "Wearing of the Green"
sung by ev'ry laddie and colleen,
Sure it's by Killarney's Lakes they're dancing
Dancing 'neath The Irish Moon.

With a shamrock pinned upon him,
A shillalah in his hand,
Ev'ry laddie there thinks his colleen fair,
is the pride of Ireland, and
To the sound of fiddles ringing,
He will swing his Irish Rose,
Ev'rybody knows that an Irish Rose
Is the fairest flow'r that grows:

Dancing underneath the Irish moon,
While the pipers play an Irish tune,
Just see them sway
each Irish heart so gay,
It's "Clickety Click" go the Irish heels,
to the melody of those Irish reels,
and listen to the "Wearing of the Green"
sung by ev'ry laddie and colleen,
Sure it's by Killarney's Lakes they're dancing
Dancing 'neath The Irish Moon.

Dancing underneath the Irish moon,
While the pipers play an Irish tune,
Just see them sway
each Irish heart so gay,
It's "Clickety Click" go the Irish heels,
to the melody of those Irish reels,
and listen to the "Wearing of the Green"
sung by ev'ry laddie and colleen,
Sure it's by Killarney's Lakes they're dancing
Dancing 'neath The Irish Moon.
