|
||
|
|
||
|
\beginverse
|
||
|
Come single guy and gal unto me pay attention
|
||
|
Don't ever fall in love
|
||
|
It's the devil's own invention
|
||
|
For once he fell in love with a maiden so bewitching
|
||
|
Miss Henrietta Bell down in Captain Kelly's kitchen
|
||
|
\endverse
|
||
|
|
||
|
\beginchorus
|
||
|
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie
|
||
|
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
|
||
|
\endchorus
|

|
|

|
\beginverse
|
||
|
At the age of seventeen I apprenticed to a grocer
|
||
|
Not far from Stephen's Green
|
||
|
Where Miss Henri' used to go sir
|
||
|
Her manners were sublime she set my heart a-twitchin'
|
||
|
When she invited me to a party in the kitchen
|
||
|
\endverse
|
||
|
|
||
|
\beginverse
|
||
|
Sunday was the day that they were to have their flare-up
|
||
|
He dressed himself quite gay
|
||
|
I frizzed and oiled my hair up
|
||
|
The Captain had no wife and he had gone a-fishin'
|
||
|
She groped me on the stairs beneath the old man's kitchen
|
||
|
\endverse
|
||
|
|
||
|
\beginverse
|
||
|
Her arms around my waist she slyly hinted marriage
|
||
|
When to the door in haste came Captain Kelly's carriage
|
||
|
Her eyes were full of hate and poison she was spittin'
|
||
|
The Captain kicked the door in and stormed into the kitchen
|
||
|
\endverse
|
||
|
|
||
|
\beginverse
|
||
|
When the Captain came downstairs he saw my situation
|
||
|
In spite of all his prayers he was marched off to the station
|
||
|
For him they'd take no bail
|
||
|
To get home I was itchin'
|
||
|
He had to tell the tale how I came into the kitchen
|
||
|
\endverse
|
||
|
|
||
|
\beginverse
|
||
|
I said she did invite me
|
||
|
But she gave flat denial
|
||
|
For assault she did indict me and I was sent for trial
|
||
|
She swore he'd robbed her house
|
||
|
In spite of all her screechin'
|
||
|
I got six months hard
|
||
|
For his courtin' in the kitchen
|
||
|
