Thread Name: Lyr Req: I Don't Mind If I Do (Irish song)
Subject: Lyr Add: I DON'T MIND IF I DO
Try this:


She asked me to sing her a verse of a song,
It's not very short and it's not very long
She asked me to sing about something that's new
And me darlin, says I, I don't mind if I do.

My name is Dan Murphy, a barber am I
I courted a girl, though I felt rather shy
She bid me come for a moment or two
And me darlin, says I, I don't mind if I do.

I entered the kitchen, twas cosy and bright
Soon a fine hearty supper, I put out of sight
Say's she' Have a drop of the old mountain dew"
And me darlin, says I, I don't mind if I do
.
I walked out of the kitchen and picked up my hat
"Och, darlin'" says she, "Don't you leave me like that."
Says she, "wont you stay for a wee kiss or two?"
And me darlin, says I, I don't mind if I do.

Well we kissed and we squeezed and found lover's delight
And Peggy asked me if I'd make her my wife
Says she, "I've a plow and an acre or two,"
And me darlin, says I, I don't mind if I do.

Next mornin' we went to the church to be wed
& the priest stood before us with a book and he said
"Now let you take Peggy, and Peggy take you."
And father, says I, I don't mind if I do.

And now we are married, and happy are we
Though we've no little babies to dance on our knee
Say's she wait a while and we might have a few
And me darlin, says I, I don't mind if I do.
