Tipperary: Irish Love Song

VERSE 1I’m in love with a slip of a tip tip typical Tipperary miss:She’s a regular clip with a rosy lip that you’d dearly love to kiss.From the tip of her toes to the tip tip top of her nose I love her so.I’d like to just take her and squeeze her,I know that it wouldn’t displease her.But she lives in Tipperary many miles away from here,if I could just meet her to see her and greet her,I’m thinkin’ I’d eat her the little dear.But she’s many miles away from here and so I’ll wait I fear.Till I take a notion and sail o’er the ocean to Ireland. CHORUSFaith it’s me that’s nearly crazy,From me Tipperary daisyAll the day me hearts “unaisy.”Sure the thing I find that’s on me mind,Is the darlin’ girl I left behind,Far off in dear old Tipperary. VERSE 2Now I’ll give ye a tip when I board the ship with me grip to trip away:I’ll be there with a yell when they ring the bell and I’ll shout “hip hip hoo ray.”Then the whistle will toot and away we’ll shoot with a toot toot down the bay.I’ll wave a bye bye when we’re sailin’ from over the top of the railin’.Then across the briny ocean to the tiny Em’rald Isle I’d give me last penny, if I hadn’t any, begory, or many to see her smile.As she used to when she sat ferninst me down be side the stile.But I was a rover bedad, and came over from Ireland.
