My Darling Grainne

I was out one day patrolling my beat
When I saw this girl in front of me.
She was hopping to and fro on her dainty feet.
My darling Grainne.

Everyone who tried to pass
Were drawn in by the spell she cast.
They couldn't help watch her feet so fast.
My darling Grainne.

She knew I was a country cop
But she carried on dancing, she didn't stop.
She jumped a hip, a hip and a hop.
My darling Grainne.

As she danced and we all stood,
The music played and it was good.
My heart was filled with so much love
For my darling Grainne.

With her bright red hair and pale face
And her long white gown edged with lace,
She danced around with so much grace.
My darling Grainne.

She danced all day and she danced all night
'Til the sun came up so big and bright.
Oh, what a beautiful sight.
My darling Grainne.

Oh what a beautiful sight.
My darling Grainne.
My darling Grainne.
