[00:12.31] [00:12.82]But I was a wise man and said to my darling, [00:17.31] [00:17.86]Love that is true love will not fade away [00:22.24] [00:23.27]Oh, the youth of the heart, [00:25.57] [00:26.29]And the dew in the mornin'.

[00:35.45] [00:39.86]I went to America looking for money, [00:42.19] [00:42.77]I worked all the day and I slept all alone. [00:46.62]The sweet silver dollars I saved for my darling, [00:51.31]To clothe her in satin and make her my own.

[01:09.16] [01:13.81]I came back to Ireland, my pockets a-jingle, [01:16.31] [01:16.90]And the wedding bells rang [01:18.44]As I came down the street.
