I’m a decent good Irish body
Language: English
I’m a decent good Irish body And I come from the County Tyrone, I can do with a rale glass of toddy And my name it is Mollie Malone. I can whistle and sing like a starling By the youngsters I couldn’t be bet. Whisper I’ll tell you my darling, I’m as good as they’re making them yet.
