Chorus:
Katie O’Connor you have my heart
Know it will always be here
A year may well pass but I will come back
To you and County Clare
1. This lock of raven hair
Will cross the Irish Sea
When I’m loading boats in Liverpool
I’ll still have you with me
What I earn I’ll save
Help hold the family’s land
I’ll speak with your father when I return
Then ask you for your hand
Chorus
2. I know there are others
Who have lain upon this hill
Above the Shannon river
This field all to themselves
I gaze into your eyes
Your head rests on my arm
Can it be those others
Have felt a love this strong?
Chorus
Katie O’Connor when I’m alone
I’ll have more than this lock of your hair
I’ll just close my eyes, you’ll be by my side
Back here in County Clare
