The Pretty Young Girl - Altan

This pretty young maid

I seek far and wide

My heartache each morn with her

I don't meet when

I go to the bar the dance hall or fete

But I'd follow her trail in the dead of the night

Now you're the young man that travels afar

Find me a gem I can have as my wife

Never yearn or pine for flocks or for kine

And I'll conjure plan that will charm her life

Have her youthful and fair with no worry or care

Patient and wise in affairs of all kind

Modest and mild without too much pride

That is my love if she hadn't a dime

Now you're the young man that travels afar

Find me a gem I can have as my wife

Never yearn or pine for flocks or for kine

And I'll conjure plan that will charm her life

Let no blemish or shame be attached to her name

Honest in heart and gentle in mien

No hatred or vice to be heard in her voice

But cheerful and smiling from morning 'til night

Now you're the young man that travels afar

Find me a gem I can have as my wife

Never yearn or pine for flocks or for kine

And I'll conjure plan that will charm her life

And I'll charm her life
