Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
When I was single I wore a plaid shawl
Now that I’m married I’ve nothing at all
Oh but still I love him I’ll forgive him
I’ll go with him where ever he goes
He came up our alley and he whistled me out
But the tail of his shirt from his trousers hung out
Oh but still I love him I’ll forgive him
I’ll go with him where ever he goes
He bought me a handkerchief red white and blue
But before I could wear it he tore it in two
Oh but still I love him I’ll forgive him
I’ll go with him where ever he goes
He brought me to an ale house to buy me some stout
But before I could drink he order me out
Oh but still I love him I’ll forgive him
I’ll go with him where ever he goes
He borrowed some money to buy me a ring
Then he and the jeweler went off on a fling
Oh but still I love him I’ll forgive him
I’ll go with him where ever he goes
There’s cakes in the oven there’s cheese on the self
If you want any more you can sing it yourself
Oh but still I love him I’ll forgive him
I’ll go with him where ever he goes
