She Took Me by the Hand

I was a carefree bachelor on my own
'Til I met a wee girl who came from Portglenone
She winked at me with a roguish eye
I knew I should have passed her by
But she took me by the hand and led me on

Led me on
She led me on
Ah, she took me by the hand and led me on

We went into the hay shed hand in hand
With the huggin' and kissin', well she could be at the Bann
Says I, "Come on, I'll see you home"
She says, "Oh, no! I'd rather roam"
She took me by the hand and led me on

Led me on
She led me on
Ah, she took me by the hand and led me on

Well, I kissed her on the cheeks and on the lips
She giggled and wiggled
And jiggled her shapely hips
That night to her I then proposed
I don't know why, God only knows
Then she took me by the hand and led me on

Led me on
She led me on
Ah, she took me by the hand and led me on

I was very nervous on the wedding day
I'd half of a mind to up and run away
Before that I could say, 'I do,' she says, "He does! And I do too!"
She took me by the hand and led me on

Led me on
She led me on
Ah, she took me by the hand and led me on

On the wedding night, when all the guests were gone
We rumbled around until the scrake of dawn
And when I said, "I think we're done"
She said, "Me boy, we've just begun!"
And she took me by the hand and led me on

Led me on
She led me on
Ah, she took me by the hand and led me on

She said, "It's time to start the family"
Says I, "I think it's grand just you and me"
And now we have a pair of twins, triplets, and a set of Quins
She took me by the hand and led me on

Led me on
She led me on
Ah, she took me by the hand and led me on

Led me on
She led me on
Ah, she took me by the hand and led me on
