The Village Of Astee - Tony Stevens
=============================
INTRO . . . . .
I'm just a plain young I-rish lad
and car-ing is my home
I love to ram-ble down the road
when my dai-ly chores are done
It hap-pened that one sum-mers eve
when fate was kind to me
I spied a young girl walk-ing
in the vil-lage of A-stee
So I re-solved to speak to her
to hear what she might say
I walked a lit-tle fas--ter
un--til I crossed her way
I stat-ed my in-ten-tions
- quite plain for her to see
Then she took my hand
and kissed my cheek
in the vil-lage of A-stee
She said "My hand-some fel-low
- I'm glad we chance to meet,
I've of-ten thought a-bout you
as I walked a-long the street"
"If you think I'll make you hap-py
then I'll glad-ly go your way,
We'll speak to Fath-er Mur-phy
and we'll name our wed-ding day"
The priest, he spoke of love and life
and blessed our hearts as one
He wished us eve-ry hap-pi-ness
un--til lifes race is run
We walked the aisle with
loves sweet smile
for all the world to see
Then we head-ed out to Kath-leens house
in the vil-lage of A-stee
And now we have a lit-tle house
and love-ly child-ren too
We'd like to have your com-pa-ny
if you're ev-er pas-sing through
We'll sing a song and talk a while
and have a cup of tea
For we know you'll like the life we live
in the vil-lage of A-stee
