  1. Old Songs of the District - My Irish Jaunting Car

    Share Share Post
    Driving jolting, galloping
    On my outside car
    When I get it fair
    I drive all care
    As I drive the jaunting car.

    If a girl to your mind
    You like to find
    Old Ireland is the place
    For a cailin fair
    I do declare

    She is sure to win your heart
    She has a glancing eye
    And a beaming eye
    As bright as any star
    Be the man above
    You're bound to love
    If you go on the jaunting car.
