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 WOULD STEP UP AND BOLDY SAY
BLESS THE FRIENDS THAT I LOVE AND
THE FRIENDS THAT LOVE ME AND
THE FRIENDS OF ME FRIENDS THAT WISHES
ME THREE.

Submitter comment: THIS CAN BE PLAYED ON THE GUITAR WITH CHORDS G-C-D.
