    got my eye,
    He an Irish boy from Ireland
    To deny that no man can
    He's a rarum tarum the devil may care
    He's an Irish gentleman.

    I left my home in Ireland not many years ago
    I left my home in Sligo wqhere the big potatoes grow.
    But since I've been from Ireland it's always been my plan
    To let the ladies know that I'm an Irish gentleman.
