The Girl Down the Lane
I've a neat little farm near to Portballintrea
Where the bush river flows to the sea
I've barley and I've wheat there's potatoes, corn and beets
And an orchard with the sweetest apple trees
But a girl would mean the world
She'd fill me heart and set me fancy free
A girl to share me dreams I'd treat her like a queen
A girl to love would mean the world to me
I've horses and I've cows and there's chickens running free
I treat them all humanely as I can
There's music and there's drink and books to make me think
I suppose I'm doing as well as any man
But a girl would mean the world
She'd fill me heart and set me fancy free
A girl to share me dreams I'd treat her like a queen
A girl to love would mean the world to me
I'm lonely everyday and the dreary nights are long
The dog is my companion by the fire
I tell her all me plans and she seems to understand
But just how much I never did enquire
But a girl would mean the world
She'd fill me heart and set me fancy free
A girl to share me dreams I'd treat her like a queen
A girl to love would mean the world to me
There's a neat little girl who lives down the lane
Each day she stops and says hello to me
She smiles at me so sweet that me heart it skips a beat
If I get bold I'll ask her in for tea
For a girl would mean the world
She'd fill me heart and set me fancy free
A girl to share me dreams I'd treat her like a queen
A girl to love would mean the world to me
Well, I finally found the nerve and we've shared a meal or two
I've fallen for the girl down the lane
She's always on me mind and her kisses are devine
I count the hours until we meet again
For a girl has changed the world
She fills me heart and sets me fancy free
A girl to share me dreams and I treat her like a queen
A girl to love has changed the world for me
A girl to share me dreams and I treat her like a queen
A girl to love has changed the world for me
Where the bush river flows to the sea
I've barley and I've wheat there's potatoes, corn and beets
And an orchard with the sweetest apple trees
But a girl would mean the world
She'd fill me heart and set me fancy free
A girl to share me dreams I'd treat her like a queen
A girl to love would mean the world to me
I've horses and I've cows and there's chickens running free
I treat them all humanely as I can
There's music and there's drink and books to make me think
I suppose I'm doing as well as any man
But a girl would mean the world
She'd fill me heart and set me fancy free
A girl to share me dreams I'd treat her like a queen
A girl to love would mean the world to me
I'm lonely everyday and the dreary nights are long
The dog is my companion by the fire
I tell her all me plans and she seems to understand
But just how much I never did enquire
But a girl would mean the world
She'd fill me heart and set me fancy free
A girl to share me dreams I'd treat her like a queen
A girl to love would mean the world to me
There's a neat little girl who lives down the lane
Each day she stops and says hello to me
She smiles at me so sweet that me heart it skips a beat
If I get bold I'll ask her in for tea
For a girl would mean the world
She'd fill me heart and set me fancy free
A girl to share me dreams I'd treat her like a queen
A girl to love would mean the world to me
Well, I finally found the nerve and we've shared a meal or two
I've fallen for the girl down the lane
She's always on me mind and her kisses are devine
I count the hours until we meet again
For a girl has changed the world
She fills me heart and sets me fancy free
A girl to share me dreams and I treat her like a queen
A girl to love has changed the world for me
A girl to share me dreams and I treat her like a queen
A girl to love has changed the world for me
