Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Irish Jaunting Car
There's another song with the chorus ...

"Come, come, beautiful Eileen
Out for a drive with me
Over the mountain and down by the fountain
Down through the valley dear, won't it be lovely
Make up your mind, don't be unkind,
And we'll drive to Castlebar
To the road I'm no stranger, to you there's no danger,
So hop like a bird on my old jaunting car"

...and I can't remember another word. It got a lot of airplay back in the 50's/60's. Singer might have been Patrick O'Hagen or Michael O'Duffy...
