We were sitting on the wall upon a
Sunday
G

To watch the girls go by
And thinking we'd be
married to one one day
When

Caitlyn caught our eye

Ah boy, she was the makings of a fairy
G

And it made each boy all swear
Bm
F#
There's not a girl in the wide,
F#m
D
wide world
G
D
A
Like the darlin' girl from
D
Clare
And every man had got the finest
Bm
plan you'd ever seen of
D
Farinina
Every day there's one of them would say
Bm
E
A
that she'll agree now, you'll see now
D
All night they'd fight as to
which of them was right
A
F#
A
D
A
About the colour of her eyes and hair
D
G

But not a word from me
G
was ever heard
A
About the darlin' girl from
D
A
D
Clare.
Says
A
D
A
D
Fagin, it's the father I'll be pleasin'

I'll tell him of the land I've tilled,
I'll tell him of the cattle I have grazin'
F#m

Bm
And the house I mean to build.
D
A
D
And when he sees the arable and pasture,
G
A
D
And the fat stuff feedin' there,
G
E
D
And the hens and the chickens shimmer go
G
D
A
To the dickens for the darlin' girl from
D
Flair.
So every man had got the finest
Bm
plan you'd ever seen,
D
Now, barring me, now.
Every day there's one of them would
E
say that she'll agree, now,
A
E
He'll see now, thinks I well now,
D
Though I haven't e 'er a cow of cash,
E

About the darling girl from
D
A
D
A
D

Says
A
D
Sharkey, she'll be coming to the shop here
G
D
To buy some sort of thing
I'll ask her if she has a mind to stop here
F#m
F#
Bm
And should I buy the ring
D
And when she sees the
A
D
curtains on the windows
G
D
And the outlock on the stair
G
E
Keepin' time to the minute,
D
no one else will there be in it
Bm
A
With the darlin' girl from
D
Flare

So every man has got the finest plan you'd ever seen now,

With all your gold he'll never hold a

hold upon the darlin' girl from
