Irish Song Lyrics

THE BOYS OF KILKENNY 
Oh the Boys of Kilkenny are brave roaring blades And if ever they meet with the nice little maids They'll kiss them and coax them and spend their money free And of all towns in Ireland Kilkenny for me And of all towns in Ireland Kilkenny for me Fal de ral de ral de ral de ral lal ra la la lo 
In the Town of Kilkenny there runs a clear stream In the Town of Kilkenny there lives a pretty dame Her lips are like roses, and her mouth much the same Like a dish of fresh strawberries smother'd in cream Fal de ral de ral de ral de ral lal ra la la lo 
Her Eyes are as black as Kilkennys large coal Which thro' my poor bosom have burnt a big hole Her mind like its river is mild clear and pure But her heart is more hard nor its marble I'm sure Fal de ral de ral de ral de ral lal ra la la lo 
Kilkenny's a pretty town and shines where it stands And the more I think on it, the more my heart warms For, if I was in Kilkenny I'd think myself at home For it's there I'd get sweethearts, but here I get none Fal de ral de ral de ral de ral lal ra la la lo
