The Darlin' Girl from Clare versuri

Versuri Alan Wagstaff – The Darlin' Girl from Clare lyrics

We were sittin’ on the wall upon a Sunday
To watch the girls go by
And thinkin’ we’d be married to one, one day
When Kate Flynn caught our eye
Oh, man! She was the makin’s of a fairy
And it made each boyo swear:
„There’s not one girl in the wide, wide world
Like the girl from the County Clare!”

And ev’ry man had got the finest plan
You ever see now – barrin’ me now
Ev’ry day there’s one of them would say
That she’ll agree now – you’ll see now
All night they’d fight
As to which o’ them was right
‘Bout the colour of her eyes and hair
But
not a word from me was ever heard
About the darlin’ girl from Clare!

Says Casey: „Tis the father I’ll be plazin’
I’ll tell him of the land I’ve tilled
I’ll tell him of the cattle I have grazin’
And the house I mean to build
And when he sees the arable and pasture
And the fat stock feedin’ there
An’ the hens an’ the chickens
Ye may go to the dickens
For the girl from the County Clare”

And ev’ry man had got the finest plan
You ever see now – barrin’ me now
Ev’ry day there’s one of them would say
That she’ll agree now – you’ll see now
All night they’d fight
As to which o’ them was right
‘Bout the colour of her eyes and hair
But not a word from me was ever heard
About the darlin’ girl from Clare!

Says Sweeney, „She’ll be coming to the shop here
To buy some sort of thing
I’ll ask her if she has a mind to stop here
An’ should I buy the ring:
An’ when she sees the curtains on the windows
An’ the clock upon the stair
Keepin’ time to the minit
No one else will be in it
With the darlin’ girl from Clare!”

And ev’ry man had got the finest plan
You ever see now – barrin’ me now
Ev’ry day there’s one of them would say
That she’ll agree now – you’ll see now
All night they’d fight
As to which o’ them was right
‘Bout the colour of her eyes and hair
But not a word from me was ever heard
About the darlin’ girl from Clare!

I never said a single word about her
But I met the girl that day
I told her I could never live without her
An’ what had she to say?
She said that I might go and see her father:
I met him then and there
An’ in less than an hour
We war fightin’ for the dower
Of the darlin’ girl from Clare!

So ev’ry man had got the finest plan
You ever see now – barrin’ me now
Ev’ry day there’s one of them would say
That she’ll agree now – you’ll see now
But late last night
When the moon was bright
I asked her if she’d share
Me joy an’ me sorra’
An’ begorra! On to-morro’
I’ll be married to the girl from Clare!
