Darling Girl from Clare -Brendan O'Dowda[00:00:00]
We were sitting on the wall upon a Sunday[00:00:06]
To watch the girls go by[00:00:09]
And a'thinking we'd be marrit to one one day[00:00:13]
When a colleen caught our eye[00:00:16]
Oh man she was the makings of a fairy[00:00:19]
She made each boy'o swear[00:00:23]
There's not one girl in this wide wide world[00:00:26]
Like the darling girl from Clare[00:00:29]
Now every man has got the finest plan[00:00:32]
You'd ever see now barring me now[00:00:36]
Every day there's one of them will say[00:00:40]
That she'll agree now Oh you'll see now[00:00:43]
Each night they would fight as to which of them was right[00:00:46]
About the colour of her eyes or hair[00:00:49]
But not one word from me was ever heard[00:00:53]
About the darling girl from Clare[00:00:56]
Sez Fagan 'tis the father I'll be plaising[00:01:05]
I'll tell him of the land I've tilled[00:01:08]
I'll tell him of the cattle that I'm grazing[00:01:11]
And the house I mean for to build[00:01:15]
And when he sees the arable and pasture[00:01:18]
And the fat stock grazing there[00:01:21]
And the hens and the chickens you may go to the dickens[00:01:25]
For the darling girl from Clare[00:01:28]
So every man has got the finest plan[00:01:31]
You'd ever see now barring me now[00:01:35]
Every day there's one of them will say[00:01:39]
That she'll agree now you'll see now[00:01:42]
Thinks I whither now though I haven't ere a cow[00:01:45]
Of brass I've got my share[00:01:48]
And so I know the way I ought to go[00:01:52]
About the darling girl from Clare[00:01:55]
Sez Sharkey she'll be coming to the shop now[00:02:04]
To buy some sort of thing[00:02:07]
And I'll ask her if she has a mind to stop here[00:02:11]
And should I buy her the ring[00:02:14]
And when she sees the curtains on the window[00:02:17]
And the tall clock on the stair[00:02:21]
Keeping time to the minute noone else will be in it[00:02:24]
For the darling girl from Clare[00:02:28]
So every man has got the finest plan[00:02:31]
You'd ever see now barring me now[00:02:34]
Every day there's one of them will say[00:02:38]
That she'll agree now you'll see now[00:02:41]
Thinks I ye may stop till you rot in your shop[00:02:44]
And never a hair she'll care[00:02:48]
With all yer gold you'll never hold a hold[00:02:51]
Upon the darling girl from Clare[00:02:54]
I never said a single word about her[00:03:03]
But I met that girl that day[00:03:06]
And I told her that I couldn't live without her[00:03:10]
And what had she for to say[00:03:13]
She said me to go and ask her father[00:03:16]
I met him then and there[00:03:20]
And in less than an hour we were fighting for the dower[00:03:23]
Of the darling girl from Clare[00:03:26]
So every man had got the finest plan[00:03:30]
You'd ever see now barring me now[00:03:33]
Every day there's one of them will say[00:03:37]
That she'll agree now Oh you'll see now[00:03:40]
But late last night when the moon was bright[00:03:44]
I axed her if she would share[00:03:47]
All me joy and me sorra and begorrah on tomorra[00:03:50]
I'll be married to the girl from Clare[00:03:54]
