Here is the Wee Song from it......Lets hear you all sing.......PRETTY IRISH GIRL.......From the film Darby OGill And The Little People (1959) (Lawrence Edward Watkin / Oliver Wallace) Have you ever seen the seagulls A-flyin oer the heather Or the crimson sails on Galway Bay The fishermen unfurl. Oh, the earth is filled with beauty And its gathered all together In the form and face and dainty grace Of a pretty Irish girl. Oh, shes my dear, my darlin one Her eyes so sparklin full of fun, No other, no other Can match the likes of her, Shes my dear, my darlin one My smilin and beguilin one, I love the ground she walks upon, My pretty Irish girl. Have you ever seen the morning in Kerry and Killarny When the dew is on the hayrick And evry drop a pearl, When the geese are full of blarney And the thrush is singing Gaelic And standing in the doorway Is a Pretty Irish Girl. Oh, shes my dear, my darlin one, Her eyes so sparklin full of fun,No other, no other Can match the likes of her, Shes my dear my darlin one My smilin and beguilin one, I love the ground she walks upon My pretty Irish girl. When Im parted from my darlin My sighs would sail a schooner And when I cannot reach her, sure My tears would turn a mill, Since she cannot be unkind To any helpless creature, I think that I will marry me A pretty Irish Girl. Oh, shes my dear, my darlin one,Her eyes so sparklin full of fun, No other, no other Can match the likes of her, Shes my dear my darlin one My smilin and beguilin one, I love the ground she walks upon My pretty Irish girl. Lol.
