Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
I have fallen for another; she can make her own way home
And even if she asked me now, I’d let her go alone
I use to see her up the chapel, when she went to Sunday Mass
She’d go up to receive; I’d kneel down there and watch her pass
The glory of her ass
Chorus:
I use to love her, I use to love her, once, long, long time ago
I use to love her, I use to love her, once, long, long time ago
It’s gone, all my lovin’ is gone
Do you remember her collecting for concern on Christmas Eve
She was on a forty-eight hour fast, just water and black tea
I walked straight up and made a ostentatious contribution
I winked at her, to tell her, I’d seduce her in the future
When she’s feeling looser
Chorus
So now you know the truth of it, she’s no longer my obsession
All the thoughts and dreams I had of her would take six months in confession
But I met this young one Thursday night and she’s into free expression
And her mission is to rid the world of this in full repression
Then we had a session
Chorus:
I use to love her, I use to love her, once, long, long time ago
I use to love her, I use to love her, once, long, long time ago
It’s gone, all my lovin’ is gone
Well it’s gone, long, long gone
All my lovin’ is gone, long, long gone
All my lovin’ is gone, long, long gone
All my lovin’ is gone, long, long gone
I have fallen for another; she can make her own way home
