Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

One evening so late as I rambled
\nOn the banks of a clear purling stream,
\nI sat down on a bank of primroses,
\nAnd so gently fell into a dream.
\n I dreamed I beheld a fair female
\n Her equal I ne’er saw before,
\n As she sighed for the wrongs of her country
\n As she strolled along Erin’s green shore.<\/p>\n

I quickly addressed this fair female,
\n“My jewel, come tell me your name,
\nFor in this country I know you’re a stranger
\nOr I would not have asked you the same.”
\n She resembled the goddess of liberty
\n And of freedom, the mantle she wore
\n As she sighed for the wrongs of her country
\n As she strayed along Erin’s green shore.
\n“I know you’re a true son to Granne,
\nAnd my secrets to you I’ll unfold,
\nFor here in the midst of all dangers
\nNot knowing my friends from my foes.
\n I’m the daughter of Daniel O’Connell
\n And from England I lately come o’er,
\n I’ve come to awaken my brethren
\n That slumber on Erin’s green shore.”<\/p>\n

Her eyes were like two sparkling diamonds
\nOr the stars of a cold frosty night;
\nHer cheeks were two blooming roses
\nAnd her teeth of the ivory so white.
\n She resembled the goddess of freedom,
\n And green was the mantle she wore,
\n Bound round with the shamrock and roses
\n That grew along Erin’s green shore.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
