American Old Time Song Lyrics: 04 My Pretty Irish Queen
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 4
MY PRETTY IRISH QUEEN.
Sung by Leonard and Jones.
How happy is the evening
When the moon o'er the hill-tops peep.
And the dew is softly falling
To lull the flowers to sleep.
It is then mem'ry's stealing
Back to a happy scene;
Of one I never will forget,
Is my pretty little Irish queen.
Chorus.
Oh! my pretty little Irish queen,
Whoever happy seems;
With golden hair and eyes so fair,
This pretty little Irish queen.
Oh! my pretty little Irish queen,
The fairest ever seen;
It was hard to part
From the darling of my heart,
My pretty little Irish queen.
Her eyes are like the dew-drops
That glitter on the rose so bright;
And teeth just like the lilies,
Which bloom so fair and white.
When the shades of night have fallen
Her face then haunts my dream;
But there's a day when I'll return
And claim my Irish queen.-Chorus.
