Let Mr. McGuire Sit Down |
Me name is Mick Maguire and I’ll quickly tell to you |
Of a young girl I admired one Katie Donoghue |
She was fair and fat and forty and believe me when I say |
Whenever I’d come in at the door you could hear her mother say |
Johnny get up from the fire get up and give your man a seat |
Can’t you see it’s Mick Maguire and he’s courtin' your sister Kate |
You know very well he owns a farm a wee bit out of the town |
Ah get out of that ya impudent brat and let Mister Maguire sit down |
Well the first time I met her was at a dance in Donnahadee |
I very kindly ask her would she dance a step with me |
I asked if I could see her home if she’d be going my way |
But whenever I’d come in at the door you could hear the ould one say |
Johnny get up from the fire get up and give your man a seat |
Can’t you see it’s Mick Maguire and he’s courtin' your sister Kate |
You know very well he owns a farm a wee bit out of the town |
Ah get out of that ya impudent brat and let Mister Maguire sit down |
But now that we are married her mammy’s changed her mind |
Just because I spent the money that me daddy left behind |
Now she hasn’t got the decency to me time of the day |
And whenever I’d come in at the door you could hear her mammy say |
Johnny come up to the fire come you’re sitting in the draft |
Can’t you see it’s ould Maguire and he nearly drives me daft |
Sure I don’t know what gets in him and he’s always on the tear |
So sit where you are and never you dare, give ould Maguire the chair |
