¶Lyrics / Text

In a shady nook one moon-light night, A leprehaun I spied, With scarlet cap and coat of green, A cruiskeen by his side. 'Twas tick-tack-tick, his hammer went, Upon a weeny shoe; And I laugh'd to think of a purse of gold; But the fairy was laughing too! With tiptoe step and beating heart, Quite softly I drew nigh, There was mischief in his merry face, A twinkle in his eye, He hammer'd and sang with tiny voice, And drank his mountain dew And I laugh'd to think he was caught at last; But the fairy was laughing too! Ha ha ha etc As quick as thought I seiz'd the elf; "Your fairy purse!" I cried "The purse" he said "'tis in her hand, "that lady at your side!" I turn'd to look: the elf was off! Then what was I to do? O I laugh'd to think what a fool I'd been, And the fairy was laughing too! Ha ha ha etc
