Yvonne - we crossed in replies, but there are two more verses. You have given the first and last, and their choruses. Here are the two central verses and chors: 2.Says Fagin, 'Tis the father I'll be plazin', I'll tell him of the land I've tilled I'll tell him of the cattle I have grazin' And the house I mean to build And whin he sees the arable and pasture And the fat stock feedin' there An' the hens an' the chickens You may go to the dickens For the girl from County Clare Chorus2: So every man had got the finest plan .. as before.. That she'll agree now - you'll see now. Thinks I 'Well then now Though I haven't ere a cow Of brass I've got my share And so I know the way they ought to go About the darlin' girl from Clare 3.Sez Sharkey 'She'll be coming to the shop there To buy some sort of thing I'll ax her if she has a mind to stop there And should I buy the ring An' whin she sees the curtains on the window An' the old clock on the stair Keepin' time to the minit No one else will be in it With the darlin girl from Clare Chorus3: So every man had got the finest plan ..as before ... That she'll agree now - you'll see now. Thinks I 'Ye may stop Till yer dead in yer shop An' not a hair she'll care Wid all yer gold Ye'll never hold a hold Upon the darlin' girl from Clare Written and composed by Percy French (1854-1920). There is also a female version he composed for his singing partner of later years, Mary Laffan.
