I'm trying to find the lyrics and chords for an Irish folk tune. It may be called "A Thousand Lays." The lyrics begin, "A thousand lays these thousand days I've made to praise your beauty rare [might be fair]. And songs of love at feasts I raise, though wand'ring eyes reprove me there, I'll praise always your beauty rare." I think that's close.

Any help would be appreciated.
