The Darlin' Girl from Clare Lyrics
The Darlin' Girl from Clare - John Roche
Written by： Percy French
We were sitting on the wall upon a Sunday
To watch the girls go by
And thinkin' we'd be marrit to one one day
When Kate Flynn caught our eye
Oh man she had the makin's of a fairy
And it made each boy'o swear
There's not one girl in the wide wide world
Like the girl from County Clare
And every man had got the finest plan
Ye 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
In the colour of her eyes and hair
But not a word from me was ever heard
About the Darling Girl from Clare
Says Sweeney she'll be coming to the shop here
To buy some sort of thing
I'll ax her if she has a mind to stop there
And should I buy the ring
An' whin she sees the curtains on the windas
An' the clock on the stair
Keepin' time to the minit
No one else will be in it
With the darlin' girl from Clare
And every man had got the finest plan
Ye 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
In 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 that girl next day
I told her I could never live widout 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
And ev'ry man had got the finest plan
Ye 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 axed her if she'd share
Me joy an' me sorra'
An' begorra on to-morro'
I'll be married to the girl from Clare
