Three Lovely Lassies from Kimmage
There were
three lovely lasses from Kimmage,
From Kimmage, from Kimmage, from Kimmage
And whenever there with a bit of a scrimmage
Sure I was the toughest of all
Sure I was the toughest of all.
Well the
cause of the row is Joe Cashin
Joe Cashin, Joe Cashin, Joe Cashin
For he told me he thought I'd look smashin'
At a dance in Saint Anthony's Hall,
At a dance in Saint Anthony's Hall.
Well the
other two young ones were flippin',
They were flippin', they were flippin', they were flippin'
When they saw me and Joe and we trippin'
To the strains of the Tennessee Waltz,
To the strains of the Tennessee Waltz.
When he
gets a few jars he goes frantic
Frantic, goes frantic, goes frantic
But he's tall and he's dark and romantic
And I love him in spite of it all,
And I love him in spite of it all.
Well he
told me he thought we should marry,
Marry, should marry, should marry
He said it was foolish to tarry,
So I lent him the price of the ring,
So I lent him the price of the ring,
Well me
da sayd he'll give us a present,
A present, a present, a present
A stool and a lousy stuffed pheasant,
And a picture to hang on the wall,
And a picture to hang on the wall.
I went
down to the Tenaney Section,
The section, the section, the section
The T.D. just before the election,
Said he'd get me a house near me ma,
Said he'd get me a house near me ma.
Well we're
gettin' the house, the man said it
He said it, he said it, he said it
When I've five or six kids to my credit
In the meantime we'll live with me ma,
In the meantime we'll live with me ma.
