Absolutely Irish movie - The Flower Of Kilkenny lyrics

rate me

I once loved a flower in Kilkenny<br>

and a beautiful creature was she<br>

I loved her far better than any,<br>

and I know that young darling loved me.<br>

<br>

CHORUS<br>

She's the beautiful Flower of Kilkenny<br>

shall I gaze on her fair face no more?<br>

I have roamed through the world and seen many,<br>

but there's none like my Eileen , a Sto'r<br>

<br>

I remember the first time I met her,<br>

and I gawked at her hand I pursue.<br>

And no man could have felt any better<br>

when she swore she would always be true.<br>

<br>

As she left me she gave me a token,<br>

and that was an outburst of tears.<br>

And the words that were generally spoken,<br>

they've reigned in my memory for years.<br>

<br>

For this was the last of the token,<br>

that she gave with a fond loving will;<br>

And the words that were generally spoken,<br>

they've reigned in my memory still.<br>

<br>
