Mrs McGrath[00:00:00]

"Mrs McGrath " the sergeant said [00:00:15]

"Would you like to make a solider out of your son Ted [00:00:17]

With a scarlet coat and a big cocked hat [00:00:20]

And Mrs McGrath wouldn't you like that "[00:00:23]

With your too-ri-a fol-di-diddle-da too-ri oor-ri oor-ri-a[00:00:26]

With your too-ri-a fol-di-diddle-da too-ri oor-ri oor-ri-a[00:00:31]

Now Mrs McGrath lived on the shore[00:00:37]

And after seven years or more[00:00:39]

She spied a ship come into the bay[00:00:42]

With her son from far away[00:00:44]

"Oh captain dear where have you been [00:00:48]

You've been sailing the Mediterranean [00:00:50]

Have you news of my son Ted [00:00:53]

Is he living or is he dead "[00:00:55]

With your too-ri-a fol-di-diddle-da too-ri oor-ri oor-ri-a[00:00:59]

With your too-ri-a fol-di-diddle-da too-ri oor-ri oor-ri-a[00:01:04]

Up came Ted without any legs[00:01:10]

And in their place two wooden pegs [00:01:12]

She kissed him a dozen times or two[00:01:15]

And said "My god Ted is it you "[00:01:17]

"Now were you drunk or were you blind[00:01:20]

When you left your two fine legs behind [00:01:22]

Or was it walking upon the sea[00:01:26]

That wore your two fine legs away "[00:01:28]

With your too-ri-a fol-di-diddle-da too-ri oor-ri oor-ri-a[00:01:31]

With your too-ri-a fol-di-diddle-da too-ri oor-ri oor-ri-a[00:01:36]

With your too-ri-a fol-di-diddle-da too-ri oor-ri oor-ri-a[00:01:41]

With your too-ri-a fol-di-diddle-da too-ri oor-ri oor-ri-a[00:01:47]

"No I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind[00:01:52]

When I left my two fine legs behind [00:01:54]

A cannon ball on the fifth of May[00:01:57]

TOre my two fine legs away "[00:02:00]

"Oh Teddy boby " the window cried [00:02:03]

"Your two fine legs were your mother's pride [00:02:05]

Stumps of a tree won't do at all [00:02:08]

Why didn't you run from the cannon ball "[00:02:10]

With your too-ri-a fol-di-diddle-da too-ri oor-ri oor-ri-a[00:02:13]

With your too-ri-a fol-di-diddle-da too-ri oor-ri oor-ri-a[00:02:18]

With your too-ri-a fol-di-diddle-da too-ri oor-ri oor-ri-a[00:02:24]

With your too-ri-a fol-di-diddle-da too-ri oor-ri oor-ri-a[00:02:29]

"All foreign wars I do proclaim[00:03:06]

Live on the blood and the mothers'pain [00:03:08]

I'd rather have my son as he used to be [00:03:11]

Than the King of America and his whole navy "[00:03:14]

With your too-ri-a fol-di-diddle-da too-ri oor-ri oor-ri-a[00:03:19]

With your too-ri-a fol-di-diddle-da too-ri oor-ri oor-ri-a[00:03:24]

With your too-ri-a fol-di-diddle-da too-ri oor-ri oor-ri-a[00:03:29]

With your too-ri-a fol-di-diddle-da too-ri oor-ri oor-ri-a[00:03:34]

With your too-ri-a fol-di-diddle-da too-ri oor-ri oor-ri-a[00:03:39]

With your too-ri-a fol-di-diddle-da too-ri oor-ri oor-ri-a[00:03:45]
