Her name was Kayleigh Claire from County Clare
No boy would look at her no one would dare

She was so beautiful so slight and white
Like a little angel in the pale monnlight

Her name was Kayleigh Claire, smiling all the time like she had no care
Her name was Kayleigh Claire

To win her heart to make her choose it was never very easy and they would always lose
To this irish girl with her long black hair, she had a mighty Glare her name was Kayleigh Claire

One day in may not far from today, a young man showed up at her parents house
With darkish hair and shining eyes he sought her attention with some honest lies

Her name was Kayleigh Claire, smiling all the time like she had no care
Her name was Kayleigh Claire

He caught her by surprise with his honest lies, he was the only one who wasn’t terrified
Of this strong-willed girl with the mighty glare her name was Kayleigh Claire from County Clare
It’s been 20 years, two boys three girls, a very happy couple doing daily chores
Though every day more grey in her hair, you can still see her, the girl from Clare

Her name was Kayleigh Claire, boy if you don’t do good oh man she’ll glare
Her name was Kayleigh Claire

Her name was Kayleigh Claire, smiling all the time like she had no care
Her name was Kayleigh Claire
