'Twas on the road to Bandon
One morning in July
Sure I met a lovely colleen
And she smiled as she passed by.
She says - "I am a stranger
And I'm lonely all alone,
Would you kindly tell me
Where I find that little Blarney Stone".
Chorus:
There's a Blarney stone in Kerry
There's a Blarney stone in Clare
There's a Blarney stone in Wicklow
And there's plenty in Kildare
There's a Blarney stone in Sligo
And another in Mayo (Tyron)
Sure the Devil a town in Ireland
But you'll find a Blarney stone.
Sure I know he comes from Galway
I can tell it by his brogue
Sure there never was a Galway man
That was a normal rogue.
And since you are a stranger
Where the river Shannon flows
And the only Blarney stone I know
Is underneath me nose.
Chorus:
Sure her Irish smile was broadened
And she winked a roguish eye
Oh she set me heart a thumping
Till I thought I'd surely die.
So he rolled me in his arms
And I never baed him o'er
Sure he kissed the blooming roses
And abandoned Blarney stone.
Chorus:
