LEPRECHAUN SONG

THERE LIVED IN OLD IRELAND A WEE
LITTLE MAN, WHO WAS KNOWN BY THE NAME
OF A LEPRECHAUN, A FAIRY SHOEMAKER NONE
OTHER WAS HE AND THE GIFT OF THREE
WISHES HAD HE.
IF I WERE TO MEET HIM ON A BRIGHT
SUNNY DAY, TIS I WHO WOULD STEP UP AND
BOLDLY SAY, BLESS THE FRIENDS THAT I
LOVE AND THE FRIENDS THAT LOVE ME AND
THE FRIENDS OF ME FRIENDS
THAT'S ME WISHES THREE.
