1. In the dark, a ship was anchored on a bright St Patrick’s Day.
On the quay, a lass was sighing for her lover going away.
In her hand, she held an emblem and its small green leaves were three,
And her parting words were "Darling, look at this and think of me."

CHORUS: Three-leaf shamrock, I adore thee.
Your three leaves I long to see.
When there's brighter days in Ireland,
I'll come home and marry thee.

2. Just before the ship had started, as she laid her land on mine,
Just before that we had parted, she looked with loving eyes so kind.
But tonight I am an exile far from home, and far from thee.
When there's brighter days in Ireland, I’ll go home and marry thee.

Thanks, Bobby, for the complete lyrics to TLS. I've got a partial recording of TLS sung by Sheila Noonan so I won't be needing yours just yet.Thanks for the offer, I'll keep it in my file. Regards :) Rob

Yes, Shiela does a nice job. The original "hit" recording of TLS was by Dermot O'Brien (no relation) in 1972, and it isalso the most complete. (Release Records, Dublin)

Three Leafed Shamrock

In the dock a ship was anchored
On a bright St. Patrick's Day
On the quay a lass was sighing
For her lover going away

In her hand she held an emblem
And it's small green leaves were three
And her parting words were darling
Look at these and think of me

Three leafed shamrock I adore thee
Your three leaves I love to see (or long to free)
When there's brighter days in Ireland
I'll come home and marry thee

Just before the ship had started
As she laid her hand on mine
Just before we had parted
She looked with loving eyes so kind

To my coat she pinned an emblem
And it's small green leaves were three
And her parting words were darling
Look at these and think of me

But tonight I am an exile
Far from home and far from thee
Next to my heart I'll wear your token
No matter where I be

And although the seas divide us
And your face I might never see
When there's brighter days in Ireland
I'll come home and marry thee

Three leafed shamrock I adore thee
Your three leaves I love to see (or long to free)
When there's brighter days in Ireland
I'll come home and marry thee
