Irish Boy- Mr. Thompson (Aber) 1908 Grieg
[My title, replacing "I Love You Jamie" (I Wish). "I Love You Jamie" is a hybrid song From The Greig-Duncan Folk Song Collection- Volume 8- page 521 by Patrick N. Shuldham-Shaw, Emily B. Lyle, published 2002. Since this has the chorus of Foolish Young Girl or, Irish Boy I'm also placing it here. See "I Love You, Jamie" for details.
See also "Young Foolish Girl" sung by Willie Mathieson, School of Scottish Studies recording, 1952.

"Irish Boy" sung by Mr. Thompson, 1908 Grieg
1. I love you Jamie, I love you well,
I love you more than tongue can tell,
I love you better than you loved me,
My darling Jamie ye're dear tae me.
CHORUS: For a foolish young girl was I, I, I,
To fall in love for an Irish boy
An Irish boy O gin he be,
He spoke braw Scotch when he courted me.
