“Hillbilly Irish” Words and Music by Marty Falle

(4:29) (ISRC Code - TCAJZ2515630)

Verse 1: Shamus

I am a Clare-born farmer in the Bluegrass hills, Workin’ tobacco with dreams to fulfill.

I met you at the barn dance, Yeah, that fiery red hair, Music was playing and love filled up the air

Verse 1: Molly

I am a Kildare girl with a sharp, quick tongue, And I’ve heard sweet words from a thousand young guns.

I couldn’t help but laugh at your bashful blue eyes There was something about you Shamus that made my heart reply.

Chorus:

Hillbilly Irish, Young, strong and free, To Eastern Kentucky from the Irish Sea.                                                         

Where the banjo and fiddle play and the crooked river winds, You’re my hillbilly sweetheart and I’m yours for all time.

 Verse 2: Shamus
Molly I can’t dance’ but my heart is a stayin’ warm, Ain’t got no more rhythm than a screen door in a storm.

Verse 2: Molly

Hold me close and make it fast. If you want to win this Irish lass, Leave your bachelor ways, prove your love is built to last.

Chorus:

Bridge: Shamus

“Molly, darlin’, I’ll give you the world,

(Molly)

Build us a farm, and I will be your girl.”

Bridge: Shamus

“Molly, I’ve got dreams, I will show you I can,

(Molly)               

 I’ll need more than words from a Hillbilly man!”

Chorus
