I found myself out walking, out by the Heatherbell
The lights were on and music played
from the wedding on the hill
I pushed the door right open, the room was running wild
There was beauty on the dance floor
and Nancy turned and smiled

She's got emerald eyes and I wanna make her mine
Oh, she sways in shakes, moves her body like a snake
She's a beauty, she's a queen, the best I've ever seen
And she stole my heart when I met her at the wedding

The fiddler broke the window
The best man lost his tie
The piper kissed the bridesmaid
And drank the whiskey dry
The bride was on the table
The groom was on the floor
And then she signaled to me
And headed for the door

She's got emerald eyes and I wanna make her mine
Oh, she sways in shakes, moves her body like a snake
She's a beauty, she's a queen, the best I've ever seen
And she stole my heart when I met her at the wedding

Oh, she dances around the heather
like the moonlight on the glen
Every step she takes forever
I'll be chasing her again
The river through the valley, she was flowing
Wild and free
When I see those big green eyes
Oh, she marries me

She's got emerald eyes and I wanna make her mine
Oh, she sways and shakes, moves her body like a snake
She's a beauty, she's a queen, the best I've ever seen
And she stole my heart when I met her at the wedding
