1. In the misty hills of Ireland A long, long time ago, There lived a lovely Irish lass Who loved her father so. 2. One day he went to fetch some wood, But he did not soon return, And so his loving daughter's heart Was filled with great concern. 3. She searched for him throughout the day, And when a fog came in She wept, for she was fearful They would never meet again.

4. Then suddenly, a little band Of leprechauns came by. They all were very saddened. To hear the lovely maiden cry. 5. They asked if they might have a lock Of her long and golden hair, Then tied the silken strands across A crooked limb with care. 6. 'Twas a magic harp they'd made, And when the maiden touched each strand, The music led her father home Across the misty land.

7. And to this day the harp remains A cherished symbol of The blessings of the hearth and home The Irish dearly love.
