My Lily Pad Queen
She sat on the leaf, my Lily Pad Queen
It was one of two leaves in the pond
It was one of two leaves in the pond
Hers always, when wearing Irish Green
Other remained back saved for her friend
Waiting for me, her Lily Pad Prince
She knows me not though I know her well
She knows me not though I know her well
Holding tight to her perch afraid to dance
Looking around would I ring her bell
Green eyes passed me over, then they teared
Deep I dived, I'll stay a hundred years
Deep I dived, I'll stay a hundred years
