Hi, Im looking for the lyrics to the songs
"I can't resist them brown eyed boys..."
"I know my love by his way of walking..."
and "Laddie lie near me..."
All really good Irish/Celtic tunes, but there's just some words I can't quite catch...Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Danila

I know my love (click here) is in the Digitrad database;
found by typing the words 'I know my love' in the
Lyrics & Knowledge Search box at the top of each page.

"I Know My Love" is here.
"Laddie Lie Near Me" is here.
Don't know about them brown-eyed boys, but if you use the search feature at the top of the forum page, you can access thousands of lyrics in the Digital Tradition database.

Cheers,
Michael

Does this sound familiar?

Here's an excerpt from "Brown-Eyed Boy" as sung by Lynn Conover and Susannah Weaver on "Belle of the Ball." They call the song "traditional", but I don't know if it's Irish.

...back my brown-eyed boy, lights flicker, better than me (?)
Sometimes he comes to see me. Sometimes he smiles...
