Lyrics
I once met a lady from Cahersiveen
Her eyes were as blue as the sky in the spring
Her hair it was curled and her skin shone like pearl
She's my faerie queen from Cahersiveen
She showed me the ring forts in County Kerry
We climbed Cnoc na dTobar and stared at the sea
The fog rolling in made a perilous descent
O my faerie queen from Cahersiveen
Come here to me king and I'll look after you
She beckons me with her eyes mountain spring blue
Her face framed so fair by her bracken brown hair
O my faerie queen from Cahersiveen
Her cheeks they are rosie as foxglove in bloom
The sun of my smile lights her love like the moon
She introduced me to the old hawthorn tree
She's my faerie queen from Cahersiveen
I've known other faerie queens 'cross this world wide
From mountains and valleys to island sea sides
And there's none but one I would choose for my bride
That's my faerie queen from Cahersiveen
