My Irish Colleen
Irish Colleen, Irish Colleen,
You should be wearing the green;
There's no one like you, dear,
I know at first sight here
That you were my Irish Colleen.
Dearie, O dearie, my dearie,
You look as sweet as a fairie;
Your eyes have the gleam
O the sun's gentle beam
On the Emerald Isle, Irish Colleen.
I'm in love with you, Irish Colleen,
With your dark hair and blue eyes. I ween
That I'm safe in your tether;
And we'll wear green together
If you'll only say "yes," dear Colleen.
