CHORUS
Hair of gold eyes of blue
Prettiest girl I ever knew

Skin as white as precious pearl
She was my Tipperary girl


She just chanced to pass me by
Pretty as a peach in a pumpkin pie
Fresh as a flower in full bloom

Sweet as a sunny summer's afternoon

I was smitten she got me good

I never thought that Cupid could
Speared me down into my soul
Spun me round like a batted ball

Chorus
I was courting pure romance
I asked her if she'd like to dance

Smiled at me and took my hand
Swung me 'til I couldn't stand


Chorus

She could dance and she could swing

Like a new born lamb in spring
Up and down and to and fro
Round and round and round we'd go

Chorus

I fell heads and over heels

Heart was thumping jigs and reels
Twitched and twittered I'll at ease
Like Hound dog scratching fleas


Now young and foolish Old and wise
Enter love with open eyes

Treat her right from the start
Or that Tipperary will break your heart.
