I watched the full moon rise and shine on the frosty grass

As I sat on the old worn style waiting for my lass

I had gone to school with her I know her forever

She was always head of the class she is darn clever

She claims she is not in love with little Jimmy Brown

And says she'll be my girlfriend if I'll take her to town

I know she likes Jimmy too, but I think I'm finer

He has a bicycle I have a Morris Minor

Besides other fellas' cars I know it is not much

But it will start up by pushing when you pop the clutch

that way you do not have to be overly alarmed

if you come outside and the battery is not charged

But I must get back again to my pretty Rose Anne

Who from her head to her toes is always spick and span 

In our national school we used to sing in the choir

I'd like to spend our winter nights sitting by our fire

I will talk to her father soon and turn on the charm

I love the ground she walks on a fifty acre farm

He knows from dealing with me I'm no way immature

And Rose Anne and her children will always be secure

She's the exact opposite of her cranky mother

if I can't have Rose Anne I don't want any other.

Her answers are honest and in no way confusing
What brains this girl has and she is also amusing
It's a joy to watch her just going about her task
I want to live with her that's why I'm going to ask
People say that travel can broaden a person's mind
And a dip in the ocean can help most girls unwind
If she remains with Jimmy her chances would be slim
That she would wind up in Salthill for an ocean swim
Although she is a lovely girl she would be dismayed
If the car would not start in the famous promenade

So I'll save for a battery then we can go far

My pretty Rose Anne in my wee Morris Minor car
