She tripped along right joyously, a basket on her arm; And, O ! her face, and, O ! her grace, the soul of saint would charm; Her brown hair rippled o'er her brow, but greatest charm of all Was her modest blue eyes beaming 'neath her ould plaid shawl. I courteously saluted her -" God save you, miss, says I; "God save you. kindly, sir," said she, and shyly passed me by; Off went my heart along with her, a captive in her thrall, Imprisoned in the corner of the ould plaid shawl. Enchanted with her beauty rare, I gazed in pure delight, Till round an angle of the road she vanished from my sight; But ever since I sighing say, as I that scene recall, "The grace of God about you and your ould plaid shawl." They may talk of highway robbers that, with pistols and with knives, Make trembling travellers yield them up their money or their lives, But think of me that handed out my heart and head and all To a simple little cail?n in an ould plaid shawl ! O! graceful the mantillas that the signorinas wear, And tasteful are the bonnets of Parisian ladies fair, But never cloak, or hood, or robe, in palace, bow'r, or hall Clad half such witching beauty as that ould plaid shawl. O! some men sigh for riches, and some men live for fame, And some on history's pages hope to win a glorious name; My aims are not ambitious, and my wishes are but small - You might wrap them all together in an ould plaid shawl. I'll seek her all through Galway, and I'll seek her all through Clare, I'll search for tale or tidings of my traveller everywhere, For peace of mind I'll never find until my own I call That little Irish cail?n in an her plaid shawl Related Lyrics Random lyrics: True Love, Johnny Angel, Johnny Loves Me, Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin, Johnny Get Angry, Love Letters, Palisades Park, Picnic, Roses Are Red, Sealed With A Kiss, See You In September, True Love, Capelli, Hound Dog Man, Im A Man, I?m a Man, String Along, Tiger, Turn Me Loose, La Consentida, Lo Juro Por Mi, Que Te Pasa, Quiero Estar Contigo, Estoy Hablando De Ella, Allluia, Au Loin La Bas, Dites Moi Pourquoi Je Laime, Humana, Ici, Ici ( Pour Camille ), Il Existe Un Endroit, Jai Zapp, Jai Zapp, Je TAime, Je Tappartiens, Je Taime, Je Tappartiens-, Je vivrai, La Diffrence, Lela, Les Amoureux De Lan Deux Mille, Les Amoureux De Lan Deux Mille, Les Murs, Pas Sans Toi, Perdere Lamore, Puisque CEst LAmour, Ramene Moi, Rveille Toi Brother, Saisir Le Jour, Other FA Fahey song Lyrics AN OLD IRISH HILL IN THE MORNING Lyrics HUSHEEN Lyrics Other Artists Fabares Shelley Lyrics Fabi Nicol Lyrics Fabian Lyrics Fabian Corrales Lyrics Fabian Gallardo Lyrics Fabian Lara Lyrics Fabio Concato Lyrics Fabiola Paulin Lyrics Fables Lyrics FABOLOUS Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
