​Keep In With The Girls From Clare Michael English Lyrics And Chords

[F]When I was young and in my prime
My [C]father often [F]told me
Don't [Bb]wait around for [F]life to start
Go off and chase it bold[C]ly
You'll [F]find some hearts are kind and true
And [C]others best be[F]ware
But you'll never go astray
If you keep [C]in with the girls from [F]Clare


[F]keep in with the girls from Clare
And [Bb]dance them if you're [F]able
They'll reel you in with every step
And charm you at the [C]table
For [F]many a man was scared
And [Bb]many a man was grate[F]ful
So whatever else you do in life
keep in with the girls from Clare


So I trevelled west and met a girl
Who danced me through the raindrops
And then we hit for Spanish Point
Where '''' through the rooftops
She swung me 'round with starry eyes
And flowers in her hair
And whispered as she sipped away
keep in with the girls from Clare


keep in with the girls from Clare
And dance them if you're able
They'll reel you in with every step
And charm you at the table
For many a man was scared
And many a man was grateful
So whatever else you do in life
keep in with the girls from Clare


I spied a man down in Saville
Who danced a Senorita
And when he finished dancing her
I walked straight up to meet her
She asked me if I ever heard of
a place called Milltown Malby
She said her father came from there
And she hoped to go back someday


keep in with the girls from Clare
And dance them if you're able
They'll reel you in with every step
And charm you at the table
For many a man was scared
And many a man was grateful
So whatever else you do in life
keep in with the girls from Clare


But now I finally settled down
I've traveled this world over
In every corner of this earth
There's something to discover
When they ask me what I've learned
From every kiss I bear
I raise my glass and grin and say.
Keep in with the girls from Clare


keep in with the girls from Clare
And dance them if you're able
They'll reel you in with every step
And charm you at the table
For many a man was scared
And many a man was grateful
So whatever else you do in life
keep in with the girls from Clare
