For Ireland I'll Not Tell Her Name

	D	G	D
Last	eve as I	wandered quiet	near,

	G	A
To the border's of	my little	farm,

	G	D
A	beautifull maiden ap	peared,

	G	D
Whoes lovelyness	caused my heart's	harm,

	G
By her daring and	love smitten sour,

	D	A
And the	words from her	sweetlips that came,

	D	G	D
To	meet her I	raced the field	o're,

	G	D
But for Ireland i'd	not tell her	name.

	D	G	D
If this	beauty but my	words would	heed

	G	A
The wordsthat I	speak would be	true,

	G	D
I'd	help her in every	need,

	G	D
And indeed all her	work I would	do,

	D	G
To	win one fond	kiss from my love,

	D	A
I'd	read her ro	mances of fame,

	D	G	D
Her	champion I	daily would	prove,

	G	D
But for Ireland I'd	not tell her	name.

There's a beautiful stately young maid,
At the nearing of my little farm,
She's welcoming kind unafraid,
Her smile is both childlike and warm,
Her gold hair in masses that grows
Like amber and sheen is that same,
And the bloom in her cheeks like the rose,
But for Ireland I'd not tell her name.
