Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
The coat she wore still lies upon the bed
The book I gave her that she never read
She left without a single word to say
Her father didn’t like me anyway
Oh! Daddy didn’t like the clothes I wear
And oh! Daddy didn’t like my hair
I suppose that if we’d tried
We could have something to say
But Daddy didn’t even care
She always wanted more than I could give
She wasn’t happy with the way we lived
I suppose I should have begged with her to stay
But her father didn’t like me anyway
Oh! Daddy didn’t like the clothes I wear
And oh! Daddy didn’t like my hair
I suppose that if we’d tried
We could have something to say
But Daddy didn’t even care
Ah to tell the truth I didn’t have the nerve
And I’m only getting just what I deserve
She left without a single word to say
Her father was a right cunt anyway
