Generally I can find lyrics to most songs (even old military and my dad's fraternity songs) by Googling. Try to check your spelling however when you search, it is Adeline not AdOline

Put the title or at least a phrase from the song, in quotes. I usually add the search terms- lyrics free -. One of the resulting pages usually has several of the songs I am looking for, and then I can grab several at the same time.

My Wild Irish Rose Lyrics

If you listen, I'll sing you a sweet little song

Of a flower that's now drooped and dead,

Yet dearer to me, yes, than all of its mates

Tho' each holds aloft its proud head.

T'was given to me by a girl that I know,

Since we've met, faith, I've known no repose,

She is dearer by far than the world's brightest star,

And I call her my wild Irish Rose.

Refrain:

My wild Irish Rose,

The sweetest flow'r that grows,

You may search ev'rywhere

But none can compare

With my wild Irish Rose.

My wild Irish Rose,

The dearest flow'r that grows

And some day for my sake, she may let me take

The bloom from my wild Irish Rose.

They may sing of their roses which, by other names,

Would smell just as sweetly, they say,

But I know that my Rose would never consent

To have that sweet name taken away.

Her glances are shy whene'er I pass by

The bower, where my true love grows;

And my one wish has been that some day I may win

The heart of my wild Irish Rose

Hey there Chef. I found THIS SITE by *Dogpiling* songs from the 1940's.

Hope it helps. ;)
