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
