Lyrics

(Lyrics by james seals; music by james seals & dash crofts, 1969)
From the album year of sunday (1972)

Met a girl in lenningrad, she wasn't bad and I might add
I found it such a pleasure to be near her, just to hear her call my name
She was so fair, and she wore irish linen in her hair

She lived in the valley wide, a country ride from my side
I spent most of my time thinking of her. how I loved her, such a shame
I'm not there to touch the irish linen in her hair

Irish linen, memories not bad, green and red make me sad
Irish linen, I would be so glad, green and red
I could have had her for my own
