I followed the road
Through Ireland's green isle
And found a sweet village to stay
For a while
When sudden a man said
"Get out of here
And when you hear singing
Don't ever go near"
Run away, run away
Over shores over bays
She'll rip out your soul
If you dare to stay
She'll conquer you heart
And she'll burn it one day
As she steals you away
With a diddly-ay-eey
I followed the road
And a girl I did see
She stood on a hill
And was singing for me
When I heard a voice, oh
My heart went insane
And I couldn't remember
The old man's refrain
Run away, run away
Over shores over bays
She'll rip out your soul
If you dare to stay
She'll conquer you heart
And she'll burn it one day
As she steals you away
With a diddly-ay-eey
Fellows, now listen
To what I have learned
A passion too fiery
Leaves fingers burned
When I woke up
I was cold and alone
'Cause this beautiful faerie
Had gone back to home
Now I spend all my days
On this road without bliss
And I look foor that girl
That I terribly miss
And I'll tell every young man
Who comes down the way
Don't follow a girl
With a diddly-ay-eey
Run away, run away
Over shores over bays
She'll rip out your soul
If you dare to stay
She'll conquer you heart
And she'll burn it one day
As she steals you away
With a diddly-ay-eey
Run away, run away
Over shores over bays
She'll rip out your soul
If you dare to stay
She'll conquer you heart
And she'll burn it one day
As she steals you away
With a diddly-ay-eey
