My Little Blarney Stone 1908

Since the day I met you, Mary,
I have been a better man,
Sure I'm happy an' a singing all day long.
For it's you that keeps me sober
as no other woman can.
It's no wonder that my love for you is strong.
On the day I met you, Mary,
then I knew ye were my fate,
for the only thing I ever loved before
was whiskey straight.
Though I thought I loved "Bedelis"
she's completely out of date,
with my little Tipperary Blarney stone.

Tipperary Mary Carey,
you're the little girl for me,
You've a smile about you, Mary,
that would set old Ireland free.
Think it over, Mary Carey,
I don't want to live alone,
Oh! Marry me and you will see
how good to you I'll always be,
My little Blarney Stone.

Tipperary Mary Carey,
you're the little girl for me,
You've a smile about you, Mary,
that would set old Ireland free.
Think it over, Mary Carey,
I don't want to live alone,
Oh! Mary, Mary, stop yer kiddin'
An' I'll always do yer biddin'
My little Blarney Stone.

If you'll have me, Mary Carey,
you can always draw me pay,
and I'll get up ev'ry morn
an' light the fire.
I'll be satisfied
with only just one car fare ev'ry day.
You can keep the rest to spend as you desire.
When Casey went to Ireland,
sure he told when he came back,
of how he gave the Blarney stone
a real old Irish smack.
But begorrah! if you'll only let me
be your Andrew Mack,
you can always be my little Blarney stone.

Tipperary Mary Carey,
you're the little girl for me,
You've a smile about you, Mary,
that would set old Ireland free.
Think it over, Mary Carey,
I don't want to live alone,
Oh! Marry me and you will see
how good to you I'll always be,
My little Blarney Stone.

Tipperary Mary Carey,
you're the little girl for me,
You've a smile about you, Mary,
that would set old Ireland free.
Think it over, Mary Carey,
I don't want to live alone,
Oh! Mary, Mary, stop yer kiddin'
An' I'll always do yer biddin'
My little Blarney Stone.
