So, for them as wants 'em, the lyrics are:


ONE STARRY NIGHT
(Davy Spillane & Sean Tyrrell)

One starry night as I lay sleeping,
One starry night, as I lay on my bed;
I dreamed I heard wagon wheels a-creaking.
When I awoke my love had fled.

And it's many's the mile with you I've travelled
And many's the hour, love, with you I've spent.
I dreamed you were my own love forever,
But now I find, love, that you were only lent.

I'll search the highways and I'll search the byways,
I'll search the burreens and camping places too.
I will enquire of all our people
Have they time or tidings or sight of you?

I'm oft-times drunk; tonight I'm sober,
A constant rover from town to town;
And when I'm dead and my travelling's over,
O Molly ban a storin, come and lay me down.

One starry night as I lay sleeping,
One starry night, as I lay on my bed;
I dreamed I heard wagon wheels a-creaking.
When I awoke my love had fled.
