Lyrics Three Lovely Lassies from Kimmage - The Dubliners

Three Lovely Lassies from Kimmage

There were three lovely lasses from Kimmage
From Kimmage, from Kimmage, from Kimmage
And whenever there with a bit of a scrimmage
Sure I was the toughest of all
Sure I was the toughest of all
Well the cause of the row is Joe Cashin
Joe Cashin, Joe Cashin, Joe Cashin
For he told me he thought I’d look smashin'
At a dance in Saint Anthony’s Hall
At a dance in Saint Anthony’s Hall
Well the other two young ones were flippin'
They were flippin', they were flippin', they were flippin'
When they saw me and Joe and we trippin'
To the strains of the Tennessee Waltz
To the strains of the Tennessee Waltz
When he gets a few jars he goes frantic
Frantic, goes frantic, goes frantic
But he’s tall and he’s dark and romantic
And I love him in spite of it all
And I love him in spite of it all
Well he told me he thought we should marry
Should marry, should marry, should marry
He said it was foolish to tarry
So I lent him the price of the ring
So I lent him the price of the ring
Well me da sayd he’ll give us a present
A present, a present, a present
A stool and a lousy stuffed pheasant
And a picture to hang on the wall
And a picture to hang on the wall
I went down to the Tenan sea Section in the Corporation
The section, the section, the section
The T.D. just before the election
Said he’d get me a house near me ma
Said he’d get me a house near me ma
Well we’re gettin' a house, the man said it
Oh he said it, oh he said it, oh he said it
When I’ve five or six kids to me credit
In the meantime we’ll live with me ma
In the meantime we’ll live with me ma
