'twas on the road to Dublin
that I met a pretty girl
She looked so good
that it was quite disarming
I stopped and I asked her
if she wanted to go home
Or if she had to stay out 'til the morning
And she said, "Right, alright,
sure, we'll get along tonight
And think about each other in the morning
Is there a way, no way, I can
take you in today?
You'll have to think about me when
you're yawning"
She took to me quite lovingly
and she had much to say
I never felt as cold as it was growing
And then she turned and said to me,
"I think I've lost my way"
And suddenly I knew my heart
was glowing
And she said, "Right, alright, sure,
we'll get along tonight"
"and think about each other in
the morning"
"is there a way, no way, I can
take you in today?"
"you'll have to think
about me when you're yawning"
We came upon a crossroads and
she asked me to get down
I danced a merry jig among
the hawthorn
Never felt her hand as she re
moved me while it browned
We danced some reels and
jigs until the dawnin'
An
d she said, "Right, alright,
sure, we'll get along tonight
And think about each other in the morning
Is there a way, no way, I
can take you in today
You'll have to think about me when
you're yawnin'
And now that my story
it has come to an end
She up and she left me without warning
Say here I am today without
a penny to my name
I wish I'd never met her in the morning
Alright sure we'll get along tonight
And think about each other in the morning
Is there a way, no way, I can
take you in today?
She'll have to think about me when
you're yawnin'
As she said, "Right, alright, sure,
we'll get along tonight"
I think about each other in the morning
Is there a way, no way, I can
take you in today?
She'll have to think
about me when you're yawning
Please, no!
