CAPTAIN KE |
|
LLY'S KITC |
|
HEN (COURTIN' IN THE KITCHEN) |
|
Come single guy and gal unto me pay attention |
|
Don't ever fall in love |
|
It's the devil's own invention |
|
For once he fell in love with a maiden so bewitching |
|
Miss Henrietta |
|
Bell down in |
|
Captain Kelly's kitchen |
|
CHORUS:With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie |
|
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie |
|
At the age of seventeen |
|
I apprenticed to a grocer |
|
Not far from |
|
Stephen's |
|
GreenWhere |
|
Miss Henri' used to go sir |
|
Her manners were sublime she set my heart a-twitchin' |
|
When she invited me to a party in the kitchen |
|
CHORUS:With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie |
|
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie |
|
Sunday was the day that they were to have their flare-up |
|
He dressed himself quite gay |
|
I frizzed and oiled my hair up |
|
The Captain had no wife and he had gone a-fishin' |
|
She groped me on the stairs beneath the old man's kitchen |
|
CHORUS:With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie |
|
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie |
|
Her arms around my waist she slyly hinted marriage |
|
When to the door in haste came |
|
Captain Kelly's carriage |
|
Her eyes were full of hate and poison she was spittin' |
|
The Captain kicked the door in and stormed into the kitchen |
|
CHORUS:With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie |
|
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie |
|
When the Captain came downstairs he saw my situation |
|
In spite of all his prayers he was marched off to the station |
|
For him they'd take no bail |
|
To get home |
|
I was itchin' |
|
He had to tell the tale how |
|
I came into the kitchen |
|
CHORUS:With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie |
|
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie |
|
I said she did invite me |
|
But she gave flat denial |
|
For assault she did indict me and |
|
I was sent for trial |
|
She swore he'd robbed her house |
|
In spite of all her screechin' |
|
I got six months hard |
|
For his courtin' in the kitchen |
|
CHORUS:With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie |
|
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie |
