But now I'll honor and obey, forever stay
I look back and wonder, sit and ponder
She held the key to my broken heart
Tough times and struggles I put you through
She thought she found a man
True to you, my Irish rose
The holes in these wings don't allow me to fly
My life and my love are pledged to you
How I could have ever neglected you
She knew, I'd be a handful from the start
That she was destined to be my bride
Remember the nights, she waited and wondered
Never again will she be alone
Through thick and thin, she stood by you
But she fell for the devil, an evil monster in disguise
I'd have been there as you were through heartache and hardship
I gambled on a hand, I wasn't ready to lose
So you'd better brace for a life of pain
Fused to a myth that had taken its toll
This woman had pride, she was full of life
I remember it well, still I always knew
And if fate is the path to this better life
For the blood soaked soil on the old ball field
She held the key to my broken heart
But if the tables were turned and I faced the troubles
This strong willed woman had an angel's heart
I could see the passion in her eyes
Somehow, I feel you'll never see the faces change
Through thick and thin, she stood by you
But this godless man has mended his way
Through thick and thin, she stood by you
