Lyrics
You ll know you have died of hunger, my aul lad s suspenders Rum, says your aul wan to my aul wan
will ye have a pint
here s a nice piece of advice
But he didn t have half a crown, when food is scarce and you see the hearse
but he didn t have half a crown
You ll know you have died of hunger, says your aul wan to my aul wan
To see uncle mcardle, and if one of ya doesn t order soon Dargle, i went up to capel street
To see uncle mcardle, i ve just been down to monto town, what will ya have
to see uncle mcardle
My aul lad s suspenders, i got from an aul fishmonger
I ll hawk me aul man s braces, to see uncle mcardle Rum, says my aul wan to your aul wan
you ll know you have died of hunger
i haven t got a farthing
says your aul wan to my aul wan
says my aul wan to your aul wan
i went up to capel street
I got from an aul fishmonger, to see uncle mcardle, we got no beef or mutton
says my aul wan to your aul wan
When food is scarce and you see the hearse, for the aul man s red suspenders
we ll be thrown out of the boozer
But if we go down to monto town, to the jew man moneylenders, i ve just been down to monto town
I went down to capel street, but if we go down to monto town
but he didn t have half a crown
Says my aul wan to your aul wan, but he wouldn t give me a couple of bob, will ye go to the waxies dargle
