Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Molly O, I love your Blarney
Molly O, I love your brogue
And I’m sure you’d be an angel
If you weren’t such a rogue
I’ve nearly lost my reason
With you and all your teasin’
And still it’s not displeasin’, Molly O
For your Blarney’s just a part
Of the Irish in your heart
Chorus:
You’re the sweetest bit o’ Blarney
Ever came from old Killarney
And I’d like to change your name
To Missis Carney, I would
I’ve made up my mind to win ye
If you’ve got a heart within ye
For there’s not a thing agin but your Blarney
- Sure your eyes are sayin’ “Kiss me”
While your lips are sayin’ “No”
And each finger bids me linger
While you’re tellin’ me to go
You’d think that I’d be grievin’
Because you’re so deceivin’
But I can’t help believin’, Molly O
Sure you like to have me guess
But your heart keeps sayin’ “Yes”
