Irish Linen Lyrics - Seals And Crofts

Met a girl in Leningrad, 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
