Courtin' In The Kitchen |
Come single belle and beau, unto me pay attention |
Don’t ever fall in love, it’s the devil’s own invention |
Once I fell in love with a lady so bewitching |
Miss Henrietta Bell out of Captain Kelly’s kitchen |
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
At the age of seventeen I was 'prenticed to a grocer |
Not far from Stephen’s Green, where Miss Henry used to go sir |
Her manners were so fine, she set my heart a-twitchin' |
She invited me to a courtin' in the kitchen |
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
Next Sunday being the day, that we went to have a flare-up |
I dressed me self quite gay and I frizzed and oiled me hair up |
The captain had no wife, he had gone on fishin' |
So we kicked up high life to hooley in the kitchen |
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
She slipped up to her room, I says good Lord, oh lady |
She came back down the stairs, wearin' nothin' but her nightie |
With her arms around me waist, she slyly hinted marriage |
When to the door in haste, came captain Kelly’s carriage |
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
When the captain came downstairs, do we see me situation |
In spite of all me prayers, I was marched off to the station |
For me they set no bail, but to get to the home I was itchin' |
And I had to tell the tailor, for I came in to the kitchen |
Well, I swore she did invite me, though she gave a flat denial |
For assault, they did indict me and I was sent for trial |
She swore I robbed the house in spite of all me screechin' |
And I got six months hard, for me courtin' in the kitchen |
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie |
