712. Cean Dubh Deelish
PUT your head, darling, darling, darling, | |
Your darling black head my heart above; | |
O mouth of honey, with thyme for fragrance, | |
Who, with heart in breast, could deny you love? | |
|
O many and many a young girl for me is pining, | 5 |
Letting her locks of gold to the cold wind free, | |
For me, the foremost of our gay young fellows; | |
But I’d leave a hundred, pure love, for thee! | |
|
Then put your head, darling, darling, darling, | |
Your darling black head my heart above; | 10 |
O mouth of honey, with thyme for fragrance, | |
Who, with heart in breast, could deny you love? | |
