Lyrics:
First verse
Oh! my heart's in a whirl, Over one little girl, I love her, I love her, yes, I do, Altho' her heart is far away, I hope to make her mine some day. Ev'ry beautiful rose, ev'ry violet knows, I love her, I love her fond and true, And her heart fondly sighs as I sing to her eyes, Her eyes blue, Sweet eyes of blue, my darling!
Refrain
Peg O' My Heart, I love you, dear little girl, Sweet little girl, Sweeter than the rose of Erin, are your winning smiles endearin', Peg O' My Heart, Your glances with Irish art entrance us, Come, be my own, Come, make your home in my heart. Peg O' My Heart, I love you, dear little girl, Sweet little girl, Sweeter than the rose of Erin, are your winning smiles endearin', Peg O' My Heart, Your glances with Irish art entrance us, Come, be my own, Come, make your home in my heart.
Second verse
When your heart's full of fears, And your eyes full of tears, I'll kiss them, I'll kiss them all away; For, like the gold that's in your hair, Is all the love for you I bear, O, believe in me, do, I'm as lonesome as you, I miss you, I miss you all the day, Let the light of love shine from your eyes into mine, And shine for aye, Sweetheart for aye, my darling!
(Refrain)
