Cathleen - Phil Lynott

A beautiful girl

A beautiful Irish girl

A beautiful girl, Cathleen

And if the song that I write is no good

Won’t you listen to it, please anyway?

And if the words that I write are misunderstood

Won’t you listen to them, please anyway?

This song is for Cathleen

Cathleen, Cathleen

A beautiful girl Cathleen

Cathleen, Cathleen

A beautiful girl Cathleen

And if you hear I was kissing another

Don’t be jealous, it’s only your mother

So take it from father to daughter

This song is for Cathleen

And if you hear that I kissed your sister

Don’t be jealous, for how could I resist her

Don’t be angry, for one day you might miss her

She’s, oh so like Cathleen

Cathleen, Cathleen

A beautiful girl Cathleen

Cathleen, Cathleen

A beautiful girl Cathleen

Cathleen, Cathleen

A beautiful girl

A beautiful Irish girl

A beautiful girl

A beautiful Irish girl, Cathleen

So if the song that I write is no good

Won’t you listen to it, please anyway?

And if the words that I write are misunderstood

Listen to them, please anyway

This song is for Cathleen

Cathleen, Cathleen

A beautiful girl Cathleen

Cathleen, Cathleen

She’s a beautiful girl Cathleen

My Cathleen, Cathleen

A beautiful girl Cathleen

Cathleen, Cathleen

She’s a beautiful girl

A beautiful Irish girl

A beautiful girl

A beautiful Irish girl, Cathleen

Now shut up, go to bed
