[G]It was on the road to Dublin that I [D7]met a pretty girl
She looked so good that it was quite dis[C]arm[G]in’
I[G] stopped and I asked her if she [D7]wanted to go home
Or [G]if she had to stay out [C]till the[D7] morn[G]in’
[Chorus]
[G]And she says: Right! [C]Al[G]right! Sure, we’ll [D7]get along tonight
And think about eachother in the [C]morn[G]in’
[G]Is there a way? [C]No [G]way I can [D7]take you in today
So you’ll [G]have to think about me[C] when you’re [D7]yawn[G]in’
She[G] took to me quite lovingly, and she [D7]had much to say
and I never felt the cold as it was [C]grow[G]in’
[G]And then she turned and said to me: I [D7]think I’ve lost me way
And [G]suddenly I knew me [C]heart was [D7]glow[G]in’
We [G]came upon a crossroads and she [D7]asked me to get down
And I danced a merry jig among the [C]haw[G]thorn
[G]I never felt her hand as she re[D7]moved me wallet brown
And we [G]danced some reels and jigs[C] until the [D7]dawn[G]in’
[G]Now that my story has [D7]come to an end
She upped and she left me without[C] warn[G]in’
[G]So here I am today without a [D7]penny to me name
And I[G] wish I’d never [C]met her in the [D7]morn[G]in’
She looked so good that it was quite dis[C]arm[G]in’
I[G] stopped and I asked her if she [D7]wanted to go home
Or [G]if she had to stay out [C]till the[D7] morn[G]in’
[Chorus]
[G]And she says: Right! [C]Al[G]right! Sure, we’ll [D7]get along tonight

So you’ll [G]have to think about me[C] when you’re [D7]yawn[G]in’

About The Song.
This song tells of a lad trotting along the road to Dublin when he spies a fine young wan — the kind of girl who’d make a bishop kick a hole in a stained-glass window. She smiles at him in that dangerous way that says:
“I’m either going to kiss you…
or ruin your life — sure maybe both.”
He stops her, asks where she’s headed, and she basically says:
“Right — grand — let’s go have a bit of craic till the morning and worry about the consequences when we’re yawning with regret.”
That, lads, is what we call a romantic red flag — but sure she’s gorgeous so who cares.
She cozies up to him, chatting away, charming the shite out of him --
and he’s feeling warmer than a sinner in confession.
Her eyes twinkling, the moon shining, the night swelling with magic --
the poor eejit was already planning children and a cottage.
Then she says she’s lost her way --
but in truth she’s found something:
his gullibility.
They reach a crossroads — and like an absolute gobdaw
he hops off to dance a jig,
feeling full of joy and romance…
All the while she used the opportunity
to relieve him of his wallet with a hand smoother
than a politician promising tax cuts.
When dawn breaks, she’s gone --
along with his money, dignity, and self-respect.
He wakes up broke, broke-hearted, and broke-witted --
thinking:
“Sweet divine, she took everything except the shirt off me back — and I’m half afraid she considered that too.”
In short:
It’s a cautionary Irish tale that proves:
If she’s too charming --
too affectionate --
too friendly --
and too eager to stroll with you til dawn…
then check your pockets --
because Cupid might’ve hit you,
but she’s after your valuables.
A grand song of romance, robbery,
and the age-old Irish wisdom:
If a pretty girl steals your heart,
keep an eye on your wallet as well.
