When by chance I stood outside a cottage door. I just dropped in to light my pipe. As any lad might do, Going to or coming from the fair, When I spied a pretty colleen With two eyes of melting blue. Faith t'was really then my heart felt very queer. I loved to ramble down the old boreen When the hawthorn blossoms are in bloom And sit by the gate On the old mossy seat. And whishering to Kate Muldoon.

Its nice to get up in the morning
When the sun begins to shine,

In the real old summer time
But when the snow is snowing hard
And smoking overhead.
I'd like to get up in the morning
But I'd rather stay in bed.
