The Ladies of Cork

Lyrics

[Verse 1] All the ladies of Cork are my friends If I ever just come back again So says Padraig, a compadre of mine He means well but he might be lying [Chorus] All the ladies fair and blonde With their gingham dresses on All the ladies dark With eyes that pierce the heart In red this time This poor heart of mine [Verse 2] All the ladies of Cork are aroused By the tale of a desolate house And the man who stands in thе door Who's the woman that he's waiting for? [Chorus] All the ladiеs fair and blonde With their gingham dresses on All the ladies dark With eyes that pierce the heart In red this time This poor heart of mine [Verse 3] All the ladies of Cork are amused By the temptation of a man confused Who thought that he'd done everything right Only to find he's put out in the night [Chorus] All the ladies fair and blonde With their gingham dresses on All the ladies dark With eyes that pierce the heart In red this time This poor heart of mine [Guitar Solo] [Verse 4] All the ladies of Cork are in love With this man from New York they're in love So says Padraig about me concerned But have they no more cities to burn? [Chorus] All the ladies fair and blonde With their gingham dresses on All the ladies dark With eyes that pierce the heart In red this time This poor heart of mine This poor heart of mine This poor heart of mine
