- No. 34548I'm always gay hearted and merry,
Not a care in the world have I.
For I'm loved by a dear little colleen
And forget her I can't if I try.
She lives far away o'er the mountain
And now she is thinking of me,
In a cottage all covered with ivy,
There my Molly is waiting for me.Chorus
It's over, it's over the mountains,
Where the little bird sit on the tree
In a cotage all covered with ivy,
There my Molly is waiting for me.Chorus,Did your mother come form Ireland,
For there's something in your Irish,
Will you tell where you got those Irish eyes,
And before she left Killarney,
Did your mother kiss the Blarney,
'Cos your little touch of brogue you can't disguise,
Oh, I wouldn't be romancin'
I can almost see you dancing,
While the Kerry pipers play,
Sure and may be we'll be sharing,
In the Shamrock you'll be wearing,
On next St. Patrick's Day,
Did your mother come from Ireland,
'Cos there's something in you Irish,
And that bit of Irish steals my heart away.Ballad sold by "Paddy from Ardee".
