Lyrics to Margaret Barry and Michael Gorman's version (found here ) A promoter named Raymond, he did sign us on To go over to London to sing an Irish song. Still, I love him, I'll forgive him. I'll go with him wherever he goes. We then went to Dublin to see the Lord Mayor, Who gave us a letter to take over there. Still, I love him, I'll forgive him. I'll go with him wherever he goes. We then went to London, that city of renown, And when I got there they put on my crown. Still, I love him, I'll forgive him. I'll go with him wherever he goes. I went into the Mayfair, the Duke I declare, The way he did look when he did see us there! Still, I love him, I'll forgive him. I'll go with him wherever he goes. Now the great royal show band were with us one night, In the Royal Albert Hall I sang with delight. Still, I love him, I'll forgive him. I'll go with him wherever he goes. I went to the window to whistle him out; The music was going and I was left out! Still, I love him, I'll forgive him. I'll go with him wherever he goes. Out of me bounty he bought me a shawl, And the first day I wore it I tattered it all. Still, I love him, I'll forgive him. I'll go with him wherever he goes. I went into the Bedford, he bought me a stout. Before I could drink it, he ordered me out! Still, I love him, I'll forgive him. I'll go with him wherever he goes. I come to the end now, my verses are out. If you want any more, I'll have Guinness's Stout. Still, I love him, I'll forgive him. I'll go with him wherever he goes.
