While gazing all around me

an Ir ish girl I spied,

The little shoes this maiden wore
Were of the Spanish brown,
And the mantle on her shoulders,

Her gentle face, her modest ways,

I'd ringe this world all over
My Irish Celt again
C 
I wish I was a butterfly
D 
I'd light on my love's breast
I wish I was a nightingale,
G 
D 
A 
I'd sing my love to rest.
D 
G 
I'd sing at morn, I'd sing at eve,
D 
A 
A  love -song soft and slow.
D 
C

And year by year, I'll love my dear,
Let the wind blow high or low.
