Lyrics
The Girl from County Clare
We met in Enniscarthy, at the Strawberry Fair
She looked so fine and radiant, with the sunlight in her hair
I looked across the room without and warmly? she was there
And I fell in love with the girl from County Clare
Her eyes were dark and piercing, her skin was soft and fair
Her beauty so entranced me that I couldn?t help but stare
I could tell that there was some special magic in the air
When I fell in love with the girl from County Clare
Chorus
She was wonderful, she was kind
She was always on my mind
She was the only one could set my spirit free
She was gentle, she was coy
Her eyes were full of joy
She was the best thing that ever happened to me
But her family disapproved of me, although I didn?t care
The thought of ever loosing you was more than I could bare
Of bitter disappointment you know I?ve had my share
Until I fell in love with the girl from County Clare.
