A: answer to your question and the words for you :
The Humour is On Me Now

Oh, as I went out one mornin,'
It being the month of May
A farmer and his daughter
I spied upon me way.

And the girl sat down quite calmly
to the milkin' of her cow
Sayin' I will an' I must get married,
for the humour is on me now. 

Oh, the humour is on me now,
Oh, the humour is on me now
Sayin' I will an' I must get married,
for the humour is on me now.

[Father Lonergan (Ward Bond) takes over at the piano.]


So at last the daughter married,
she married well-to-do
And loved her darlin' husband
a month, a year or two.

But Sean was all a tyrant
and she quickly rued her vow
Sayin' I'm sorry I ever got married,
for the humour is off me now. 

Oh, humour is off me now,
Oh, humour is off me now.
Sayin' I'm sorry I ever got married,
for the humour is off me now.
