A group of men sat round the fire
Telling old tales 'til the midnight hour
Along came a stumbling little girl
Dancing around with a smile
Her ma came running fast in her wake
Sorry kind sirs for that headache
The group of men then a plea did make
Please don't take her away
We thought it was beautiful
(Oh, oh)
We thought it was beautiful
(Oh, oh)
We thought it was beautiful

Walking through an ancient space
Young lads say what is this place?
Fading light through windows cold
The whole thing seems too old
But a woman there, she seems so wise
With a nice young face and lovin' brown eyes
Lads don't like the ancient place
But she goes there everyday
She thinks it is beautiful
(Oh, oh)
She thinks it is beautiful
(Oh)
She thinks it is beautiful
(Oh, oh)
She thinks it is beautiful
(Oh)
She thinks it is beautiful

Climbing down from the mountains high
Danny's father gave a tired sigh
Well me boy, that's it I'm done
Sweating all day in the sun
The mountain's never worth the pain
Climbing all day and with what gain?
His little son then a sound did make
And Danny he did say
I thought it was beautiful
(Oh, oh)
I thought it was beautiful
(Oh, oh)
I thought it was beautiful
(Oh)
I thought it was beautiful
(Oh)
I thought it was beautiful

I thought it was beautiful
Thought it, thought it, thought it was beautiful
I thought it was beautiful
I thought it was beautiful
