AT THE END OF ME RAINBOW

AT THE END OF ME RAINBOW

With a wee bit of Irish blood in me veins
I took a trip across the sea to Ireland;
The going was fine and I took me time
To visit the old country so grand!

I'd heard many tales of the pot o'gold
That was waiting at the rainbows' end,
And I knew in me heart I'd find one meself
For the rainbow was just 'round the bend!

I followed that rainbow o'er hill and dale;
It seemed like it would fade from view -
I kept travelin' on, and singin' a song
That the leprechauns might like a bit, too!

Sure'n there was a sighting of them in the glen
A-dancin' along to me tune with glee;
I stopped to chat, then waved me' green hat
As they hollered their blessin' to me!

They wished I would find all I craved
At the end of me rainbow someday;
With a skip and a smile I went another mile
And soon found the rainbow fadin' away!

But I had reached the end, I tell ye, me friend
That I gasped when I saw that black pot!
For there was no gold, only a bold
Man that I'd thought I'd forgot!

Now some may seek gold, and some may seek fame;
But true love's the greatest treasure of all!
At the end of me rainbow I found all I need,
A good man who will come when I call.

At the end of yer rainbow I'm hopin' you find
What may be the desire of yer heart;
As for me I will stay on Erin's green isle;
With the man who has captured me heart!
