Arrah! Barney ma bouchal, when I waa
a lad
I courted one lass an' another.
But the sorra bit comfort from anny I
had
Till I came on the heart o' your
mother.
Oil, her charms they were rare
In the dusk, at the fair
At the dance,' lit the house she wa
born In.
But her heart. It was found
When I happened around
Where she sang at her work In th
mornln .
Oh, the glamour o' night
Breeds a uasslon too light
For a daclnt long life-time adornln'
Bui the blessln' that cheers
All the alow-wheelln' years
Is the love that brooms warm In
mornln'.
