Lyrics
And i got six months hard for me courtin in the kitchen, a toora loora lie a toora loora laddie, the captain wasn t home and oh he had gone a-fishin
she slyly hinted marriage
Though he saw me situation, come single belle and beau
Next sunday bein the day that we were to have the flare-up, when the captain came downstairs
She slyly hinted marriage, ma toora loora la a toora loora laddie
Her manners were sublime and she set me heart a-twitchin, for tis the devil s own invention Courtin', for me they d take no bail
But she gave a flat denial, but she gave a flat denial
ma toora loora la a toora loora laddie
Ma toora loora la a toora loora laddie, her eyes were full of hate and poison she was spittin
A toora loora lie a toora loora laddie, unto me pay attention
The captain wasn t home and oh he had gone a-fishin, ma toora loora la a toora loora laddie
a toora loora lie a toora loora laddie
A toora loora lie a toora loora laddie, her manners were sublime and she set me heart a-twitchin, miss henrietta bell out in captain kelly s kitchen
A toora loora lie a toora loora laddie, miss henrietta bell out in captain kelly s kitchen
but to get home i was itchin
In despite of all me prayers i was marched off to the station, a toora loora lie a toora loora laddie
but she gave a flat denial
And i was sent for trial, not far from stephen s green where miss henri used to go sir Stewart, but to get home i was itchin
With her arms around me waist, ma toora loora la a toora loora laddie in, for assault did indict me
for me they d take no bail
at the age of seventeen i was prenticed to a grocer
A toora loora lie a toora loora laddie, but she gave a flat denial, don t ever fall in love
A toora loora lie a toora loora laddie, for once i fell in love with a maiden so bewitching Kitchen, a toora loora lie a toora loora laddie
She swore i robbed the house and in spite of all her schreechin, but she gave a flat denial
not far from stephen s green where miss henri used to go sir
So we kicked up high life down below in the kitchen, ma toora loora la a toora loora laddie, unto me pay attention
don t ever fall in love
A toora loora lie a toora loora laddie, at the age of seventeen i was prenticed to a grocer
For me they d take no bail, for tis the devil s own invention
For me they d take no bail, the captain wasn t home and oh he had gone a-fishin
her manners were sublime and she set me heart a-twitchin
Don t ever fall in love, but she gave a flat denial
Ma toora loora la a toora loora laddie, a toora loora lie a toora loora laddie Stewart, her manners were sublime and she set me heart a-twitchin
I dressed meself quite gay and i oiled and frizzed me hair up, her eyes were full of hate and poison she was spittin
A toora loora lie a toora loora laddie, when the captain came downstairs, not far from stephen s green where miss henri used to go sir
A toora loora lie a toora loora laddie, though he saw me situation
ma toora loora la a toora loora laddie
Ma toora loora la a toora loora laddie, when she invited me to a hooley in the kitchen, when she invited me to a hooley in the kitchen
at the age of seventeen i was prenticed to a grocer
Not far from stephen s green where miss henri used to go sir, ma toora loora la a toora loora laddie
a toora loora lie a toora loora laddie
Don t ever fall in love, ma toora loora la a toora loora laddie
and i was sent for trial
when she invited me to a hooley in the kitchen
She slyly hinted marriage, and i was sent for trial
Don t ever fall in love, a toora loora lie a toora loora laddie
