Gently comic country style song about the joys of courting and married life

lyrics

I was born long ago, in the US of A
I travelled far across the sea
There I fell in love with a pretty green eyed girl
And soon I asked her if she’d marry me

Chorus
She’s my darling and my daisy
Sometimes she drives me crazy
I love her and I see her in my dreams
When I wake up in the morning
And another day is dawning
I know she’ll always be the one for me

Chorus

She feeds me shepherd’s pie
It always makes me sigh
I could eat it till it’s coming out my ears
Just when I think I’m done
“Why you’ve only just begun”
And the crumble pudding magically appears

Chorus + harp break

When we go out to the pub
To get a bit of grub
All the girls are wearing flowers in their hair
She thinks the guys are weird
With their sandals and their beards
Which makes those around to stop and stare

Chorus + fiddle break

She keeps me occupied, it cannot be denied
The way she smiles and always treats me right
I know when to “lend a hand”
She knows why she’s got her man
And my tools are always ready day and night

Chorus + all play out
