Lyrics

1. Nora Malone, long have I known
   How you’ve been teasin’
   When you should be pleasin’
   Your boy, my own
   When you’re away, I fret and pray
   Just to be hearin’ a word that’s endearin’
   You should send me one ev’ry day

Chorus
Nora Malone, call me by ‘phone
Number one, two, three, four, main
Don’t forget the number while you slumber
Open your eyes when you arise
Hear all the blarney of your Barney Carney from Killarney
Colleens are few, there’s none like you
In the ould town of Athone
Musha wurra, wurra, wurra, wurra
Old Erin’s Isle could not make me smile
Without Nora Malone

2. I love to hear, Barney my dear
   Weepin and wailin’
   As though you were ailin’
   When I’m not here
   I’ll be your bride when love decides
   Now stop your cooin’ and your silly wooin’
   I want to hear something besides
