  *2) ++Lyrics:|\\
There's a pretty spot in Ireland\\
Where a little cottage stands,\\
A rustic home I cherish, with a pride,\\
It's old fashioned, rough and dingy,\\
And was built by honest hands;\\
But what a lovely jewel shines inside.\\
It's not a costly jewel that the wealth of gold could buy,\\
But a warm hearted lassie with fond lovelight in her eye,\\
Oh, my heart it grows impatient, and I have no piece of mind,\\
For I long to see the girl I left behind.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
A little brown cot,\\
A shady green spot,\\
No happier home I find;\\
My heart's fairly gone,\\
I love only one,\\
She's the girl I left behind.\\
\\
When I first met charming Norah,\\
It was on a summer's night,\\
With all the lads and lassies on the green,\\
'Twas the same old tale repeated,\\
I was captured at first sight;\\
For in my eyes she looked an ideal queen,\\
The piper with his merry tunes, what joy he did impart,\\
But the notes of her sweet voice voice, they struck a chord within my heart,\\
In my dreams I see a vision of a face so good and kind,\\
For I long to see the girl I left behind.\\
