'Twas in the County Kerry,
just a little ways from Clare,
Where the boys and girls are merry
At the pattern dance so fair.
The town is called Kilorglin,
A pretty place to view,
But the thing that makes it interesting's
My Bridget Donaghue.

Oh, Bridget Donaghue, I really do love you,
Although I'm in America, to you I will be true.
And Bridget Donaghue, I'll tell you what we'll do,
Just take the name of Patterson, and I'll take Donaghue.

Her father is a farmer, a decent man is he,
And he's loved and well-respected from
Kilorglin to Tralee,
And Bridget on a Sunday, while coming home from mass,
She's admired by all the people,
Sure they wait to see her pass.

Oh, Bridget Donaghue, I really do love you,
Although I'm in America, to you I will be true.
And Bridget Donaghue, I'll tell you what we'll do,
Just take the name of Patterson, and I'll take Donaghue.

I sent my love a picture, I did upon my word.
Not a picture of myself, it was a picture of a bird.
It was the Yankee Eagle, says I, Miss Donaghue,
This eagle's wings are large enough
To shelter me and you.

Oh, Bridget Donaghue, I really do love you,
Although I'm in America, to you I will be true.
And Bridget Donaghue, I'll tell you what we'll do,
Just take the name of Patterson, and I'll take Donaghue.
