The Curragh of Kildare

The winter it is past and the summer's come at last
And the birds they are singing in the trees
Their little hearts are glad and mine is very sad
For my true love is far away from me

A livery I'll wear and I'll comb back my hair
And in velvet so green I will appear
And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear

Instrumental Verse

All you that are in love and cannot it remove
I pity the pains that you endure
For experience lets me know that your heart is full of woe
A woe that no mortal can cure

And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear
