Tipperary Girl

Hair of gold, eyes of blue Prettiest girl I ever knew Skin as white as precious pearl She was my Tipperary girl She just chanced to pass me by Pretty as a peach in a pumpkin pie Fresh as a flower in full bloom Sweet as a sunny summer's afternoon I was smitten, got me good I never knew that Cupid would Speared me down into my soul Spun me round like a batted ball Hair of gold, eyes of blue Prettiest girl I ever knew Skin as white as precious pearl She was my Tipperary girl I was courting pure romance Asked her if she'd like to dance Smiled at me as she took the hand Swung me 'round 'til I couldn't stand Now, she could dance, she could swing Like a new born lamb in spring Up and down and to and fro Round and round and round we'd go Hair of gold, eyes of blue Prettiest girl I ever knew Skin as white as precious pearl She was my Tipperary girl I fell heads and over heels Heart was jumping jigs and reels Twitched and twittered ill at ease Like the Hound dog scratching fleas Now young and foolish, old and wise Enter love with open eyes Treat her right from the start That Tipperary girl will break your heart Hair of gold, eyes of blue Prettiest girl I ever knew Skin as white as precious pearl She was my Tipperary girl Hair of gold, eyes of blue Prettiest girl I ever knew Skin as white as precious pearl She was my Tipperary girl
