A Beautiful Damsel of Feminine
A Gentleman's Daughter
from Monaghan Tyre
As she rode by the barracks,
this beautiful maid
Sure she stood on her coach
to see the Dragoon Long Parade
They were all dressed up
the like of gentlemen's sons
With their bright shining glitz
and their carabine guns
Oh, William, dear William,
you've listed too soon
With the thick throiled oil
in the scyllandra guns
Fare ye well in this killin',
I'll leave you awhile,
And all your fair waters,
and every green isle,
When the war it is over,
we'll return in full bloom
And you'll all welcome home,
you're in the skill and dragoon
Oh, Flora, dear Flora,
your pardon I crave,
Sure, it's now an d ever
that I am your slave,
But your parents insult you
both morn, night, and noon
For fear that you wed
your inner -skillin' druggun
Oh, William, dear William,
don't heed what they say
For children their parents
must always obey
When the war, it is over,
they'll all change their tune
and they'll all welcome home
there in the skillin' dragoon
Fare ye well in the skillin'
I'll leave you awhile
And all your fair wa ters
an d every green isle
When the war it is over,
we'll return in full bloom
And you'll all welcome home,
you're in the Scyllin' Dragon
That's powerful, mate.
Powerful, mate.
