- Afar from Erin's shore,
Our Irish Legislators,
If the truth to them be told,
Have left our people hungry
And standing in the cold;
The cry unemployment
They calmly ignore,
Except before election time.On dear old Erin's shore,
If they would but one and two,
In this dear land today.
The womenfolk would make the last??
With spirits light and gay.
The whole would be a boon?? no doubt.
And blessings they would pour
Upon the laws that gave them 'tout"
On dear old Erin's shore.

There is a flower within my heart
Daisy Bell.
Planted one day by a glancing dart,
Planted by Daisy Bell.
Whether she loves me or loves me not
Sometimes it's hard to tell
Yet I am longing to share the dot,
Of beautiful Daisy Bell.

Chorus.
Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer do !
I'm half crazy all for the love of you
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet on the seat
Of a bicycle built for two.(continues on next page)
