[Girls:] Do you know any songs
of old Erin?
[Boys:] No, we don't,
but we're willing to learn,
[Girls:] For sweet music sure,
now are you carin'?
[Boys:] Oh! a tune we can cleverly turn,
[Girls:] Do you know how to sing a "come all ye?"
[Boys:] A "come all ye!"
now how does that go?
[Girls:] Well, 'tis faith and be gob!
'Tis a rale aisy job
Just that style of a song
for to show.

[All:] Just a shamrock from Killarney,
Just a lock of golden hair,
Just a small wee bit of blarney,
Sent from Erin's Isle so fair.
Oh! My heart is in Killarney,
And I wish I too had stayed,
Girls are many,
but not any like my Irish Maid.

Just a shamrock from Killarney,
Just a lock of golden hair,
Just a small wee bit of blarney,
Sent from Erin's Isle so fair.
Oh! My heart is in Killarney,
And I wish I too had stayed,
Girls are many,
but not any like my Irish Maid.

[Boys:] Do you know any songs of passion?
[Girls:] Keep your distance and don't go too far,
[Boys:] Sing a love song in good Irish fashion,
[Girls:] Sure 'tis sudden proposin' ye are!
[Boys:] To propose, pretty maids,
we are willing.
[Girls:] Sure 'tis time that we started to go,
[Boys:] Well, just one serenade,
'ere you go Irish maid,
Oh! just one song of love you must know.

[All:] Just a shamrock from Killarney,
Just a lock of golden hair,
Just a small wee bit of blarney,
Sent from Erin's Isle so fair.
Oh! My heart is in Killarney,
And I wish I too had stayed,
Girls are many,
but not any like my Irish Maid.

Just a shamrock from Killarney,
Just a lock of golden hair,
Just a small wee bit of blarney,
Sent from Erin's Isle so fair.
Oh! My heart is in Killarney,
And I wish I too had stayed,
Girls are many,
but not any like my Irish Maid.
