The winter has passed
And the summer's here at last
The small birds are singing in the trees
Their little hearts are glad
Mine is very sad
For my true love is far away from me
ย
The rose upon the briar and the water running clear
Lend enchantment to the linnet and the bee
Their little hearts are blessed, oh, but mine can know no rest
For my true love is far away from me
Oh, it's straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear
A livery I will wear and I'll comb back
My hair (Yes, he will, yes, I will)
And in velvet shades of green I will appear
Oh, yes, this I'll undertake for my own true lover's sake
And she lives in the Curragh of Kildare
Oh, it's straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
Because it's there I'll find tidings of my dear
ย
Oh, you who are in love (Yeah, that's me)
But cannot it remove (That's me too)
I pity the pain (Yeah) that you endure
That's right, you got experience)
For experience lets me know that your hearts
Are full of woe (Hearts are full of woe)
Oh (Ow, I've got this pain)
And the pain that no mortal can endure
So, it's straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare (Huh)
Because it's there I'll find tidings of my dear (Anybody's sake)
And it's straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
I've got to go, I've got to find tidings of my dear
