Cathleen

A beautiful girl
A beautiful Irish girl
A beautiful girl, Cathleen
And if the song that I write is no good
Won’t you listen to it, please anyway?
And if the words that I write are misunderstood
Won’t you listen to them, please anyway?
This song is for Cathleen
Cathleen, Cathleen
A beautiful girl Cathleen
Cathleen, Cathleen
A beautiful girl Cathleen
And if you hear I was kissing another
Don’t be jealous, it’s only your mother
So take it from father to daughter
This song is for Cathleen
And if you hear that I kissed your sister
Don’t be jealous, for how could I resist her
Don’t be angry, for one day you might miss her
She’s, oh so like Cathleen
Cathleen, Cathleen
A beautiful girl Cathleen
Cathleen, Cathleen
A beautiful girl Cathleen
Cathleen, Cathleen
A beautiful girl
A beautiful Irish girl
A beautiful girl
A beautiful Irish girl, Cathleen
So if the song that I write is no good
Won’t you listen to it, please anyway?
And if the words that I write are misunderstood
Listen to them, please anyway
This song is for Cathleen
Cathleen, Cathleen
A beautiful girl Cathleen
Cathleen, Cathleen
She’s a beautiful girl Cathleen
My Cathleen, Cathleen
A beautiful girl Cathleen
Cathleen, Cathleen
She’s a beautiful girl
A beautiful Irish girl
A beautiful girl
A beautiful Irish girl, Cathleen
Now shut up, go to bed
