A beautiful Girl
A beautiful irish Girl
A beautiful Girl
Cathleen
And if the song that I write is no good
Won't you listen to it please anyway
And if the words that I write are misunderstood
Won't you listen to them please anyway
This song is for Cathleen
Cathleen
Cathleen
A beautiful girl Cathleen
Cathleen
Cathleen
A beautiful girl Cathleen
And if you hear I was kissing another
Don't be jealous it's only your mother
So take it from father to daughter
This song is for Cathleen
And if you hear that I kissed your sister
Don't be jealous for how could I resist her
Don't be angry for one day you might miss her
She's oh so like Cathleen
Cathleen

So if the song that I write is no good
Won't you listen to it please anyway
And if the words that I write are misunderstood
Listen to them please anyway
This song is for Cathleen
