It was on the road to Dublin that I met a pretty girl
She looked so good that it was quite disarmin'
I stopped and I asked her if she ]wanted to go home
Or if she had to stay out till the mornin'
[Chorus]
And she says: Right! Al right! Sure, we'll get along tonight
And think about eachother in the mornin'
Is there a way? No way I can take you in today
So you'll have to think about me when you're yawnin'
She took to me quite lovingly, and she had much to say
and I never felt the cold as it was growin'
And then she turned and said to me: I think I've lost me way
And suddenly I knew me heart was glowin'
We came upon a crossroads and she asked me to get down
And I danced a merry jig among the haw thorn
I never felt her hand as she re moved me wallet brown
And we danced some reels and jigs until the dawn in'
Now that my story has come to an end
She upped and she left me without warnin'
So here I am today without a penny to me name
And I wish I'd never met her in the mornin'
She looked so good that it was quite disarmin'
I stopped and I asked her if she ]wanted to go home
Or if she had to stay out till the mornin'
[Chorus]
And she says: Right! Al right! Sure, we'll get along tonight
And think about eachother in the mornin'
Is there a way? No way I can take you in today
So you'll have to think about me when you're yawnin'
She took to me quite lovingly, and she had much to say
and I never felt the cold as it was growin'
And then she turned and said to me: I think I've lost me way
And suddenly I knew me heart was glowin'
We came upon a crossroads and she asked me to get down
And I danced a merry jig among the haw thorn
I never felt her hand as she re moved me wallet brown
And we danced some reels and jigs until the dawn in'
Now that my story has come to an end
She upped and she left me without warnin'
So here I am today without a penny to me name
And I wish I'd never met her in the mornin'
