| [00:13.79] |
Come single guy and gal unto me pay attention |
| [00:17.06] |
Don't ever fall in love, it's the devil's own invention |
| [00:20.25] |
For once he fell in love with a maiden so bewitching |
| [00:23.35] |
Miss Henrietta Bell down in Captain Kelly's kitchen |
| [00:26.60] |
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie |
| [00:30.01] |
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie |
| [00:34.21] |
At the age of seventeen I apprenticed to a grocer |
| [00:37.48] |
Not far from Stephen's Green where Miss Henri used to go sir |
| [00:40.74] |
Her manners were sublime she set my heart a-twitchin' |
| [00:44.04] |
When she invited me to a party in the kitchen |
| [00:47.20] |
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie |
| [00:50.61] |
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie |
| [00:55.10] |
Sunday was the day that they were to have their flare-up |
| [00:58.24] |
He dressed himself quite gay, I frizzed and oiled my hair up |
| [01:01.64] |
The Captain had no wife and he had gone a-fishin' |
| [01:04.63] |
She groped me on the stairs beneath the old man's kitchen |
| [01:07.94] |
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie |
| [01:11.48] |
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie |
| [01:15.68] |
Her arms around my waist she slyly hinted marriage |
| [01:19.13] |
When to the door in haste came Captain Kelly's carriage |
| [01:22.53] |
Her eyes were full of hate and poison she was spittin' |
| [01:26.12] |
The Captain kicked the door in and stormed into the kitchen |
| [01:29.06] |
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie |
| [01:32.57] |
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie |
| [01:48.86] |
When the Captain came downstairs he saw my situation |
| [01:52.46] |
In spite of all his prayers he was marched off to the station |
| [01:55.96] |
For him they'd take no bail, to get home I was itchin' |
| [01:59.17] |
He had to tell the tale how I came into the kitchen |
| [02:02.32] |
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie |
| [02:05.44] |
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie |
| [02:09.97] |
I said she did invite me, but she gave flat denial |
| [02:13.14] |
For assault she did indict me and I was sent for trial |
| [02:16.67] |
She swore he'd robbed her house in spite of all her screechin' |
| [02:19.98] |
I got six months hard for his courtin' in the kitchen |
| [02:23.23] |
With me toora loora la, me toora loora laddie |
| [02:26.58] |
Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie |
| [02:34.57] |
|
