When I was a young girl I once met a man
As I took a trip across old Ireland
Travelling from Calarty to Dublin by rail
It was a two-day trip without fail
It was love at first sight
And soon we made plans
To meet in a years time
And I'd give him my hand
Yes, he promised to meet me at an inn by the sea
T'was this place called the Innisfree

Where is the inn at Innisfree
The love of my life he waits there for me
If I could find my way we'll marry this day
And my father will give me away
Oh and my father will give me away

Well, I've searched high and low
Through the moors and the downs
I've searched through the villages, the cities and towns
And I've yet to find this inn by the sea
In this place called the Innisfree

Oh where is the inn at Innisfree
The love of my life he waits there for me
If I could find my way we'll marry this day
And my father will give me away
Oh and my father will give me away

Through many a heartache and many a tear
I've searched for this inn now for so many years
Though I've long lost my youth
I still have strong will
And I pray he waits for me still

But where is the inn at Innisfree
The love of my life he waits there for me
If I could find my way we'll marry this day
And my father will give me away
Oh and my father will give me away

Where is the inn at Innisfree
The love of my life he waits there for me
If I could find my way we'll marry this day
And my father will give me away
Oh and my father will give me away
