"Mrs. McGrath," the sergeant said, |
| [00:17.31] |
"Would you like to make a solider out of your son Ted? |
| [00:20.70] |
With a scarlet coat and a big cocked hat, |
| [00:22.87] |
And Mrs. McGrath, wouldn't you like that?" |
| [00:26.22] |
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a |
| [00:31.56] |
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a |
| [00:37.20] |
Now, Mrs. McGrath lived on the shore |
| [00:39.27] |
And after seven years or more |
| [00:42.52] |
She spied a ship come into the bay |
| [00:44.81] |
With her son from far away |
| [00:48.25] |
"Oh captain dear, where have you been? |
| [00:50.45] |
You've been sailing the Mediterranean. |
| [00:53.52] |
Have you news of my son Ted? |
| [00:55.77] |
Is he living or is he dead?" |
| [00:59.04] |
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a |
| [01:04.22] |
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a |
| [01:10.16] |
Up came Ted without any legs |
| [01:12.26] |
And in their place, two wooden pegs. |
| [01:15.39] |
She kissed him a dozen times or two |
| [01:17.99] |
And said, "My god, Ted is it you?" |
| [01:20.86] |
"Now were you drunk or were you blind |
| [01:22.99] |
When you left your two fine legs behind? |
| [01:26.07] |
Or was it walking upon the sea |
| [01:28.31] |
That wore your two fine legs away?" |
| [01:31.54] |
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a |
| [01:36.64] |
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a |
| [01:42.08] |
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a |
| [01:47.24] |
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a |
| [01:52.63] |
"No, I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind |
| [01:54.77] |
When I left my two fine legs behind. |
| [01:57.87] |
A cannon ball on the fifth of May |
| [02:00.27] |
TOre my two fine legs away." |
| [02:03.18] |
"Oh, Teddy boby," the window cried. |
| [02:05.67] |
"Your two fine legs were your mother's pride. |
| [02:08.46] |
Stumps of a tree won't do at all. |
| [02:10.62] |
Why didn't you run from the cannon ball?" |
| [02:13.86] |
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a |
| [02:18.68] |
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a |
| [02:24.33] |
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a |
| [02:29.22] |
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a |
| [02:34.95] |
|
| [03:06.35] |
"All foreign wars I do proclaim |
| [03:08.78] |
Live on the blood and the mothers'pain. |
| [03:11.76] |
I'd rather have my son as he used to be, |
| [03:14.01] |
Than the King of America and his whole navy." |
| [03:17.32] |
|
| [03:19.00] |
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a |
| [03:24.67] |
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a |
| [03:29.79] |
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a |
| [03:34.87] |
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a |
| [03:40.14] |
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a |
| [03:45.12] |
With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a |
| [03:51.00] |
