Oh Dear Me - The Irish Rovers

Oh dear me, I thought she was me darling

But she proved untrue and she left without a warning

We swore we’ll love forever, together to the end

But oh dear me, I will never love again

Once I had an English girl, from Liverpool came she

So proper and so charming, sure she meant the world to me

Oh, when she drank a gin or two, she had a rovin' eye

For soldier boys or Caesar lads or anyone forby

Oh dear me, I thought she was me darling

But she proved untrue and she left without a warning

We swore we’ll love forever, together to the end

But oh dear me, I will never love again

Next, I had a Scottish girl, she came frae Aberdeen

She was the bonniest lassie boys that I have ever seen

We rode around the heather, and the wedding bells did ring

But she let me at the altar and went off on a highland fling

Oh dear me, I thought she was me darling

But she proved untrue and she left without a warning

We swore we’ll love forever, together to the end

But oh dear me, I will never love again

Then I had a Yankee girl, she came from Baltimore

She taught me well and showed me things I’ve never seen before

She loved to live the high life and we lived it night and day

But when my money was all spent she went upon her way

Oh dear me, I thought she was me darling

But she proved untrue and she left without a warning

We swore we’ll love forever, together to the end

But oh dear me, I will never love again

Well, now I have an Irish girl, from Belfast town she comes

She nags me and she plagues me and she has me 'neath her thumb

For five long years we’re married though it seems like plenty more

But still and all I’d miss her boys if she walked out the door

Oh dear me, I thought she was me darling

But she proved untrue and she left without a warning

We swore we’ll love forever, together to the end

But oh dear me, I will never love again

Oh dear me, I thought she was me darling

But she proved untrue and she left without a warning

We swore we’ll love forever, together to the end

But oh dear me, I will never love again
