    (continued from previous page)
    She siezed the arm of sweetheard Ned,
    Both of them were struck by lightning,
    She was blind and he was dead.
    Chorus.
    She's the pride of Liscarroll,
    To sweet Katie Farrell,
    Her cheeks are red as roses,
    Her teeth as white as pearl
    The neighbours all pity
    The Colleen so pretty
    Oh! how they all love
    The blind Irish girl.
    See her knit beside her mother
    You ne'er would thing her sight was gone
    And with Barney her young brother
    She milks the cows at early dawn.
    Chorus
    She's the pride of Liscarroll,
    To sweet Katie Farrell,
    Her cheeks are red as roses,
    Her teeth as white as pearl
    The neighbours all pity
    The Colleen so pretty
    Oh! how they all love
    The blind Irish girl.
