While the rising sun
shone o'er Killarney's hills,
and the song birds
welcomed forth the day,
came a Highland Laddie
over rocks and hills,
to the colleen he'd a word to say
back in Bonnie Scotland
just behind a highball town,
I've a cosy cabin built for two,
Fit for any queen
although without a crown,
but it needs a lassie
and that lassie's none but you:

Kerryanna change your manner
come away with me,
back to old Dundee,
dance and sing the Highland Fling
leave your Blarney
with his blarney
and his gift of gab,
then you'll look dandy,
with your handy Andy McNab.

Kerryanna change your manner
come away with me,
back to old Dundee,
dance and sing the Highland Fling
leave your Blarney
with his blarney
and his gift of gab,
then you'll look dandy,
with your handy Andy McNab.

Ev'ry little move she made,
poor Andy'd watch,
thinking that her answer would be "yes"
when he said to her,
you're sweet as butterscotch,
She just said: "You've got another guess:
if a lassie meets a laddie
that don't say they're wed,"
I could never wear those crazy quilts,
Andy pleaded, but she only said to him
Scotland may be Scotland
but I don't look good in kilts.

Kerryanna change your manner
come away with me,
back to old Dundee,
dance and sing the Highland Fling
leave your Blarney
with his blarney
and his gift of gab,
then you'll look dandy,
with your handy Andy McNab.

Kerryanna change your manner
come away with me,
back to old Dundee,
dance and sing the Highland Fling
leave your Blarney
with his blarney
and his gift of gab,
then you'll look dandy,
with your handy Andy McNab.
