My Beauty of Limerick - Sean Dynes

Irishfolk song. My Beauty of Limerick

I sing of a loved one whos dear unto me,
Although we are parted by the deep rolling sea,
My thoughts gladly wander to Erins green shore,
Where dwells my sweet treasure mavourneen asthore.

I sigh when I think of our farewell good-bye,
When she tried for to keep the sad tear from her eye;
Saying Patrick, God bless you and bring you safe home,
To the heart that is melting for you alone,

How well I remember the promise I gave;
To go be to old Ireland when money Id save.
For theres no girl fairer nor lovelier than she,
My beauty of Limerick, acushla Machree.

I place neath my pillow at night, ere I sleep,
The beautiful token she gave me to keep---
The wee bit of ribbon she took from her hair---
No king has a jewel more precious or rare.

In the morn when I waken I press to my heart,
My colleens last gift---from it neer will I part;
For it comes from the dearest and the sweetest to me,
My beauty of Limerick, acushla Machree.
