Lyrics - The Kilmacthomas Girl

Proxy

I was away in Waterford last weekend and heard a great song in a pub called "The Kilmacthomas Girl". I've been looking online but can't find this anywhere (except a CD to buy on cdbaby). Does anybody know the lyrics to this song?

Thanks

The Kilmacthomas Girl.

Oh on my rambles here and there,
there were tall ones and small ones, shur you'll find them everywhere.
But of all the pretty girls I've met, From the mountains to the sea,
Shur the Kilmacthomas Girl is the one that pleases me.

She is as fine a girl as you could wish to see,
I'd marry her this minute if she only would agree,
How I wish that I could coax her down to Caheroon with me,
For the Kilmacthomas Girl is the best of quality.

Now I'm losing every job I get, For work Im not inclined,
Shur tis hard for me to work at all, theres so much on my mind,
Now Im planning how to get her, so I'll have enough to do,
And shur if she says she'll marry me, well I'll work as good as two.

She is as fine a girl as you could wish to see,
I'd marry her this minute if she only would agree,
How I wish that I could coax her down to Caheroon with me,
For the Kilmacthomas Girl is the best of quality.

Now when I go to bed at night shur I cannot sleep a wink,
And I know you won't believe me when I tell you what I think,
And shur when Im tired of thinking, Id go down into the glen,
Oh Id stand outside her window and go back to bed again.

She is as fine a girl as you could wish to see,
I'd marry her this minute if she only would agree,
How I wish that I could coax her down to Caheroon with me,
For the Kilmacthomas Girl is the best of quality.

Well tonight Im going to meet her and I'll tell her straight and plain,
And behold if she refuses me, well I'll never stand the strain,
But behold if she refuses me and shur if I still survive,
Well Ill join the monks in Mellory for as long as Im alive.

She is as fine a girl as you could wish to see,
I'd marry her this minute if she only would agree,
How I wish that I could coax her down to Caheroon with me,
For the Kilmacthomas Girl is the best of quality.

A recording fo it can be found on Tadhg Maher "Straight from the Heart".

Hope thats of help!
