G                 C                      G
I was walking to town with the sun going down
G                             D
My feet feeling sore from the mileage
G                 C                            G
I was covered in sweat and my clothes were all wet
G                      D          G
Having spent the whole day making silage
C                            G
When a lady drove up and she came to a stop
G                     D
And says she "Are you going to Claremorris?"
G                          C                  G
Well, she shouted "Get in" with a cute little grin
G       D                           G
And she told me that she was Clare Morris.


[Chorus]
C                                G
She was lovely and fair, and her first name was Clare
G                          D
The daughter of big Mickey Morris
G                                 C           G
But the gleam in her eye was the real reason why
G      D                          G
I fell madly in love with Clare Morris.

[Verse 2]
G                  C                           G
Now her beauty was rare and I thought then and there
G                       D
How lucky I was to have met her
G                      C               G
But I felt ill at ease in my old dungarees
G       D                      G
And my wellingtons often smelt better
C                            G
Oh, but she was so neat from her head to her feet
G                               D
So delightful; she looked very dishy
G                               C          G
She was tastefully dressed and I sure was impressed
G       D                    G
How she handled her new Mitsubishi.

[Chorus]
C                                G
She was lovely and fair, and her first name was Clare
G                          D
The daughter of big Mickey Morris
G                                 C           G
But the gleam in her eye was the real reason why
G      D                          G
I fell madly in love with Clare Morris.

[Verse 3]
G                              C              G
Now I'll never forget the next time that we met
G                            D
Big Tom and his band were in Midas
G                           C           G
I was having a jar with the boys at the bar
G        D                    G
She came over and stood right beside us
C                          G
I was wearing a suit and a good dash of Brut
G                                D
And considered myself quite the charmer
G                            C            G
So I just couldn't wait so I asked her up straight
G           D                        G
"Would you like to come home with a farmer?"

[Chorus]
C                                G
She was lovely and fair, and her first name was Clare
G                          D
The daughter of big Mickey Morris
G                                 C           G
But the gleam in her eye was the real reason why
G      D                          G
I fell madly in love with Clare Morris.

[Verse 4]
G                                 C           G
Now says she with a laugh "Do you think I'm a calf
G                            D
Or what is the cause of your hurry?
G               C                     G
Wouldn't I be a twit to be covered in grit
G   D                        G
And smelling like that awful slurry?
C                       G
If I gave you my hand, 'Sure I'd own half your land
G                                D
And I suppose you'd expect me to plough it
G                               C          G
Now get on with your dance. You haven't a chance
G      D                    G
For my husband would never allow it."

[Chorus]
C                                G
She was lovely and fair, and her first name was Clare
G                          D
The daughter of big Mickey Morris
G                                 C           G
But the gleam in her eye was the real reason why
G      D                          G
I fell madly in love with Clare Morris.
