The Gold Claddagh Ring lyrics
It being a fine morning, this young man he chose
That he d make occasion to wear his fine clothes

And it s down to the glen where the bonnie lassie goes
To give her a token of his love, we suppose

"Mary, oh Mary, if I could be your man
Between you and danger I fearlessly would stand

With this gold claddagh ring on your lily-white hand
Oh, there ne er was another would dress you so grand."

There s no sun in summer there s no flowers in spring
Her hands hold my heart like the gold claddagh ring.

"Johnny, oh Johnny the ring it is of gold
And it s hands and fine heart, they are lovely to behold

But if I had the ring for one evening to hold
Then you shall have my answer e er the week shall be old."

"Oh why have the weeks gone and not an answer came ?
And why is it that women are smarter than men ?

Oh the girl s kept the ring which I shall ne er see again
Oh, she has many like it in a fine box at hame."

There s no sun in summer there s no flowers in spring
Her hands hold my heart like the gold claddagh ring.

It being a fine morning, this young man he chose
That he d make occasion to wear his fine clothes

And it s down to the glen where the bonnie lassie goes
To give her a token of his love, we suppose

There s no sun in summer there s no flowers in spring
Her hands hold my heart like the gold claddagh ring.
Oh, her hands hold my heart like the gold claddagh ring.
