Cathleen (a Beautiful Irish Girl)

Philip Lynott

A beautiful girl

A beautiful Irish girl

A beautiful girl

Cathleen

And if the song that I write is no good

Won't you listen to it please anyway

And if the words that I write are misunderstood

Won't you listen to them please anyway

This song is for Cathleen

Cathleen

Cathleen

A beautiful girl Cathleen

Cathleen

Cathleen

A beautiful girl Cathleen

And if you hear I was kissing another

Don't be jealous it's only your mother

So take it from father to daughter

This song is for Cathleen

And if you hear that I kissed your sister

Don't be jealous for how could I resist her

Don't be angry for one day you might miss her

She's oh so like Cathleen

So if the song that I write is no good

Won't you listen to it please anyway

And if the words that I write are misunderstood

Listen to them please anyway

This song is for Cathleen
