Song: |
5 -4 5 -3 4 -3" 4
In the sweet country Lim�rick,
5 -4 -5 -6 -6 5 -4
one cold winter�s night, all the
4 -3 4 -3" 4 5 5 -4
turf fires were burning when I first
5 -5 -3 5 -4 4 -3 4
saw the light; and a drunken old
-3" 4 5 -4 -5 -6 -6 -6 -7
midwife went tip-sy with joy, as she
7 -7 -6 -5 5 4 -4
danced round the floor with her slip
4 -4 -3
of a boy
Chorus:
5 -4 4 -3 4 -3" 4 5 -6 5
Singing ban-ya-no mo if an-ga-na
5 -4 4 4 4 -4 4 -3 -3"
and the juice of the barley for me.
Well when I was a gossoon of eight years old or so with me turf and me primer to school I did go. To a dusty old school house without any door, where lay the school master blind drunk on the floor,
Chorus
At the learning I wasn�t such a genius I�m thinking, but I soon bet the master entirely at drinking, not a wake or a wedding for five miles around, but meself in the corner was sure to be found,
Chorus
One Sunday the priest read me out from the altar saying you�ll end up your days with your neck in a halter;
and you�ll dance a fine jig between heaven and hell and his words they did frighten me the truth for to tell,
Chorus
So the very next morning as the dawn it did break I went down to the vestry the pledge for to take, and there in that room sat the priests in a bunch round a big roaring fire drinking tumblers of punch,
Chorus
Well from that day to this I have wandered alone, I�m a jack of all trades and a master of none, with the sky for me roof and the earth for me floor, and I�ll dance out my days drinking whiskey galore,
Chorus |
