Lyrics
Beautiful Isle O'er The Sea
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I will not be your sweetheart
I'll tell you the reason why
My mother always told me
To pass a drunkard by
CHORUS
Beautiful isle o'er the sea, O'er the sea
Beautiful isle o'er the sea, O'er the sea
Beautiful isle o'er the sea, O'er the sea
There's Someone waiting for me
Now young man I will tell you
If you want my heart my hand
You better quit your drinking
And be a sober man
CHORUS
Go prove yourself be faithful
Go prove yourself be true
And sometime in the future
Perhaps I'll marry you
CHORUS (X2)
