Cathleen Lyrics - Singles - 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 

Cathleen, Cathleen 

A beautiful girl Cathleen 

Cathleen, Cathleen 

A beautiful girl Cathleen 

Cathleen, Cathleen 

A beautiful girl 

A beautiful Irish girl 

A beautiful girl 

A beautiful Irish girl, 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 

Cathleen, Cathleen 

A beautiful girl Cathleen 

Cathleen, Cathleen 

She's a beautiful girl Cathleen 

My Cathleen, Cathleen 

A beautiful girl Cathleen 

Cathleen, Cathleen 

She's a beautiful girl 

A beautiful Irish girl 

A beautiful girl 

A beautiful Irish girl, Cathleen 

Now shut up, go to bed
