lyrics

Way way back in the mists of time there lived a simple girl
Whoever knew that some fine day she’d travel all the world
An Irish girl from Donegal she came from farming stock
Hard working lass and always gave as good as she got.

One day a stranger came to town as Connie he did seek
An evil glint was in his eye he was after more that sheep
He grabbed her by the wrist and he did pull her to the floor
A flash of blade and she drew blood the stranger was no more.

Her name was on the breath of every man and on their fingers
She was a legend of her time
And her name was Connie Lingus...
