The Leprauchan - Mary O'Hara-歌词

The Leprauchan - Mary O'Hara

In a shady nook one moonlight night

A leprauchan i spied

With scarlet coat and cap of green a cruiskeen by his side

Twas tick tack tick his hammer went

Upon a weeny shoe

And i laughed to think of a purse of gold

But the fairy was laughing too

With tip toe step and beating heart

Quiet softly i drew nigh

There was mischief in his merry face

A twinkle in his eye

He hammered and sang with tiny voice

And drank his mountain dew

And i laughed to think he was caught at last

And the fairy was laughing too

As quick as thought i seized the elf

Your fairy purse i cried

The purse he said tis in her hand

That lady by your side

I turned to look and the elf was off

Then what was i to do

Oh i laughed to think what a fool i'd been

And the fairy was laughing too
