Irish Linen Lyrics

INTRO: Dm
Met a girl in Leningrad
She wasn't bad, and I might add
I found it such a pleasure to be near her
Just to hear her call my name
She was so fair
She wore Irish linen in her hair
She lived in the valley wide
A country ride, from my side
I spent most of my time thinking of her
How I loved her, such a shame
I'm not there
To touch the Irish linen in her hair
CHORUS:
Irish linen
Memories not bad
Green and red make me sad
Irish linen
I would be so glad
Green and red
I could have had her for my own
INSTRUMENTAL: Dm C Dm A7 Bb A D G D A D Dm
Met a girl in Leningrad

I found it such a pleasure to be near her
Just to hear her call my name
She was so fair
She wore Irish linen in her hair
CHORUS:

Memories not bad
Green and red make me sad
Irish linen
I would be so glad
Green and red
I could have had her for my own
