Beautiful Isle O'er The Sea

I will not be your sweetheart

I'll tell you the reason why

My mother always told me

To pass a drunkard by

Beautiful isle o'er the sea

Beautiful isle o'er the sea

Beautiful isle o'er the sea

There's someone waiting for me

Now young man I will tell you

If you want my heart my hand

You better quit your drinking

And be a sober man

Go prove yourself be faithful

Go prove yourself be true

And sometime in the future

Perhaps I'll marry you
