Oh, my pretty Alice Won't you dance with me? I've seen you in the market And I've seen you on the street I don't want to steal you from your company I just wondered if you'd dance, if you'd dance with me ♪ Oh, my darling Alice To me, you're twice as fair As any girl who ever wore a flower in her hair There's a ring upon your finger and I didn't place it there Can I have this dance with you out upon the square ♪ Tomorrow you'll be married in another town But tonight you're here in Derry and music's all around Soon my pretty Alice, with your eyes so green Look to me and say you'll dance, say you'll dance with me
