When I was a singer I had only one song
That I wove from the sunlight and I rambling along
I tied it with rushes and I freed it with air
And it swept me along to the old County Clare

It went Meet me tonight by moonlight
Under that old Clare moon

I chanted in Doolin and I sang at Fanore
I went rattlin' and a ' clattering' on the old flaggy shore
Where the cliffs at Kilkee they challenge the sea
And I sang like a thrush in the town of Kilrush

I sang Meet me tonight by moonlight under that old Clare moon
Meet me tonight by moonlight under that old Clare Moon

At Old Spanish Point where the ships they went down
The moon she rose up with her great starry crown
Her necklace of diamonds, her white wedding gown
And she shed salty tears for the sailors who drowned

She sang Meet me tonight by moonlight, Under that old Clare Moon
Meet me tonight by moonlight, Under that old Clare Moon

A wonderful promise the old County Clare
There are melodies hanging from shelves in the air
There's the Maid at the Barrells, the Hag at the Churn
There's a great flock of angels flying over the Burren

Singing Meet me tonight by moonlight, under that old Clare moon
Meet me tonight by moonlight, under that old Clare moon
