Yesterday while I was walking
I met a dear little girl
Somehow we started a talking
My brain was all in a whirl
She said she came from old killarney
So I started into quiz
I got a surprise that opened my eyes
For who do you think she is
She's the daughter of rosiel grady
A regular old fashioned girl
She isn't crazy for diamond rings
Silkens and satins and fancy things
She's just a sweet little lady
And when you meet her you'll see
Why I'm glad I caught her
The daughter of rosie o'grady
I'm going to ask her to marry
I wonder what she will say
I know that if I should tarry
Someone will steal her away
I've got the ring to fit her finger
And if she will name the day
Imagine my pride when she is my bride
And I hear the neighbors say
She's the daughter of rosie o'granny
A regular old fashioned girl
She isn't crazy for diamond rings
Silkens and satins and fancy things
She's just a sweet little lady
And when you meet her you'll see
I am glad I call her
The daughter of rosie o'gready
