'TIS NOT YOUR GOLD WOULD ME ENTICE. Irish, Air (4/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. Joyce printed one verse only of the song:
'Tis not your gold would me entice
To marry you against my friends’ advice;
And I never do intend at all
To be away from my mother’s call;
And I never do intend at all
To be away from my mother’s call!
