The Ladies of Cork
[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
