We were sitting on the wall upon a Sunday

To watch the girls go by

And a'thinkin' we'd be marrit to one one day

When a colleen caught our eye

Oh man she was the makin's of a fairy

She made each boy'o swear

There's not one girl in this wide wide world

Like the darling girl from Clare

Now every man has got the finest plan

You'd ever see now barrin' me now

Every day there's one of them will say

That she'll agree now Oh you'll see now

Each night they would fight as to

Which of them was right

'Bout the colour of her eyes or hair

But not one word from me was ever heard

About the darling girl from Clare

Sez Fagan 'tis the father I'll be plaising

I'll tell him of the land I've tilled

I'll tell him of the cattle that I'm grazing

And the house I mean for to build

And when he sees the arable and pasture

And the fat stock grazing there

And the hens and the chickens

You may go to the dickens

For the darling girl from Clare

So every man has got the finest plan

You'd ever see now barrin' me now

Every day there's one of them will say

That she'll agree now you'll see now

Thinks I whither now though

I haven't ere a cow

Of brass I've got my share

And so I know the way I ought to go

About the darling girl from Clare

Sez Sharkey she'll be coming to the shop now

To buy some sort of thing

And I'll ask her if she has a mind to stop now

And should I buy her the ring

And when she sees the curtains on the window

And the tall clock on the stair

Keeping time to the minute no-one else will be in it

For the darling girl from Clare

So every man has got the finest plan

You'd ever see now barrin' me now

Every day there's one of them will say

That she'll agree now you'll see now

Thinks I ye may stop till you rot in your shop

And ne'er a hair she'll care

With all yer gold you'll never hold a hold

Upon the darling girl from Clare

No I never said a single word about her

But I met that girl that day

And I told her that I couldn't live without her

And what had she for to say

She told me to go and ask her father

Which I did right then and there

And in less than an hour we

Were fighting for the dower

Of the darling girl from Clare

So every man had got the finest plan

You'd ever see now barrin' me now

Every day there's one of them will say

That she'll agree now Oh you'll see now

But late last night when the moon was bright

I axed her if she would share

All me joy and me sorra

And begorrah on tomorra

I'll be married to the girl from Clare
