Lyrics

  1. Shure I might as well give in dear
    You have won me heart and all
    Oh it’s you that’s got me going
    And I’m not the same at all
    ‘Twas the first time that I saw you
    I heard the bells ding dong
    And I whispered to myself right there
    God help me I am gone

Chorus:
It’s the Irish in your eye
It’s the Irish in your smile
It’s the Irish in your lovin’ heart
That gets me all the while
It’s the Blarney in your voice
And I love you all my days
If it wasn’t for you and your Irish, too
Shure I don’t know what the divil I’d do
You’ve got me goin’ with your Irish ways

  1. Shure I sent out for the doctor
    And he said that I would die
    Unless I found a Colleen
    With the Irish in her eye
    Then I showed him your dear picture
    He took it from the shelf
    And said to me, “Where does she live
    I’ll take the cure myself”
