James Downes - Aisling Lyrics

Angels may be jealous of her kingdom
And the devil would take a beating from her tongue
Aisling was a sweetheart to my mother
And I told her I'd be back before I'm done

Aisling, how I left you in the morrow
Waiting while I raged across the sea
To California girls and their dreaming
And I sank the only love there was for me

Mystics fall from heaven don't you know
And I've seen tramps smiling in the rain
But I ducked into a boozer on a Sunday
And woke up on a Monday down the lane

Jenny was a darling girl from Jersey
She went and made me swear I loved me ma
I polished off the rum she bought her father
And cursed the day I ever went away
