Lullaby for My Maiden
[ Cally Krallman / Randy Wills ]
A fair lady’s hand I come to seek
To ask if she will marry me
Her father says to prove my love
A man must show what he’s made of
Tis true I thrash the barley grain
So, I bear not a noble name
Instead of gold and riches fine
His daughters hand for my whiskey brine
CHORUS
Oh, A lullaby for my maiden
Irish whiskey for *Dadai (DAH-dee)
A barrel to make him happy…
And a beautiful bride for me
Yes a beautiful bride for me
Cause I be born on the Emerald Isle
I’ll share with her my Irish smile
To him I’ll raise a glass in cheer
And steal away my darling dear.
My harvest will provide for all
In Ireland, the rain she falls
For me a noble name no need
I’ll win her hand with some barley seed
CHORUS
Oh, A lullaby for my maiden
Irish whiskey for *Dadai (DAH-dee)
A barrel to make him happy…
And a beautiful bride for me
Yes a beautiful bride for me
A fair lady’s hand I came to seek
Now I know that she’ll marry me
Her father says I proved my love
I’ve shown him now what I’m made of
CHORUS
Oh, A lullaby for my maiden
Irish whiskey for *Dadai (DAH-dee)
A barrel to make him happy…
And a beautiful bride for me
Oh, A lullaby for my maiden
Irish whiskey for *Dadai (DAH-dee)
A barrel to make him happy…
And a beautiful bride for me
Yes a beautiful bride for me...
