Town Of Ballybay - Larry Smith[00:00:00]
In the town of ballybay there was a lassie dwelling[00:00:02]
I knew her very well and her story's well worth telling[00:00:05]
Her father kept a still and he was a good distiller[00:00:07]
But when she took to the drink well the devil wouldn't fill her[00:00:10]
Ring-a-ding-a-dong ring-a-ding-a-daddy-o[00:00:12]
Ring-a-ding-a-dong whack fol the daddy o[00:00:15]
She had a wooden leg that was hollow down the middle[00:00:20]
She used to tie a string on it and play it like a fiddle[00:00:22]
She fiddled in the hall and she fiddled in the alleyway[00:00:24]
She didn't give a damn for she had to fiddle anyway[00:00:27]
Ring-a-ding-a-dong ring-a-ding-a-daddy-o[00:00:29]
Ring-a-ding-a-dong whack fol the daddy o[00:00:32]
She said she couldn't dance unless she had her wellie on[00:00:37]
But when she had it on she could dance as well as anyone[00:00:39]
She wouldn't go to bed unless she had her shimmy on[00:00:41]
But when she had it on she would go as quick as anyone[00:00:44]
Ring-a-ding-a-dong ring-a-ding-a-daddy-o[00:00:46]
Ring-a-ding-a-dong whack fol the daddy o[00:00:49]
She had lovers by the score every tom and dick and harry[00:00:53]
She was courted night and day but still she wouldn't marry[00:00:56]
But then she fell in love with a fellow with a stammer[00:00:59]
When he tried to run away well she hit him with a hammer[00:01:01]
Ring-a-ding-a-dong ring-a-ding-a-daddy-o[00:01:03]
Ring-a-ding-a-dong whack fol the daddy o[00:01:06]
She had children up the stairs she had children by the byre[00:01:10]
And another ten or twelve sitting roaring by the fire[00:01:13]
She fed them on potatoes and on soup she made with nettles[00:01:15]
And lumps of hairy bacon that she boiled up in the kettle[00:01:18]
Ring-a-ding-a-dong ring-a-ding-a-daddy-o[00:01:20]
Ring-a-ding-a-dong whack fol the daddy o[00:01:23]
She led a sheltered life eating porridge and black pudding[00:01:27]
And she terrorized her man until he died quite sudden[00:01:30]
And when her husband died well she wasn't very sorry[00:01:32]
She rolled him in a bag and she threw him in a quarry[00:01:35]
Ring-a-ding-a-dong ring-a-ding-a-daddy-o[00:01:37]
Ring-a-ding-a-dong whack fol the daddy o[00:01:40]
Ring-a-ding-a-dong ring-a-ding-a-daddy-o[00:01:42]
Ring-a-ding-a-dong whack fol the daddy o[00:01:45]
