(Verse 1)
Yesterday while out a-walkin’
I met a dear little girl
Somehow we started a-talkin’
My brain was all in a whirl
She said she came from old Killarney, so I started in to quiz
I got a surprise that opened my eyes, for who do you think she is?
(Chorus)
She’s the daughter of Rosie O’Grady
A regular old-fashioned girl
She isn’t crazy for diamond rings
Silkens and satins and fancy things
She’s just a sweet little lady
And when you meet her you’ll see
Why I’m glad I caught her
The daughter of Rosie O’Grady!
(Verse 2)
I’m goin’ to ask her to marry
I wonder what she will say
I know that if I should tarry
Someone will steal her away
I’ve got the ring to fit her finger, and if she will name the day
Imagine my pride when she is my bride, and I hear the neighbors say:
(Chorus)
She’s the daughter of Rosie O’Grady
A regular old-fashioned girl
She isn’t crazy for diamond rings
Silkens and satins and fancy things
She’s just a sweet little lady
And when you meet her you’ll see
Why I’m glad I caught her
The daughter of Rosie O’Grady!
