C
Met a girl in Leningrad

Just to hear her call my name

She was so fair

She wore Irish linen in her hair

She lived in the valley wide

A country ride, from my side

How I loved her, such a shame

I'm not there
Em A D
To touch the Irish linen in her hair

Irish linen

Irish linen

I would be so glad

Green and red

I could have had her for my own
