Darby O'Leary (1993 Digital Remaster) - The Dubliners[00:00:00]

"One evening of latest as I happened to stray[00:00:02]

To the county Tipperary I straightened me way[00:00:10]

To dig for potatoes and work by the day[00:00:12]

For a farmer called Darby O'Leary[00:00:16]

I asked him how far we where bound for to go[00:00:18]

The night being dark and a cold wind did blow[00:00:24]

I was hungry and tired and me spirits where low[00:00:28]

For I got neither whiskey nor water[00:00:31]

The dirty ould miser he mounted his stead[00:00:35]

To the Gull Belly mountains he road in great speed[00:00:38]

I followed behind till my poor feet did bleed[00:00:42]

When we stopped when his old horse was weary[00:00:45]

When we came to his cottage I entered it first[00:00:49]

It seems like a kennel or ruined old church[00:00:53]

Says I to myself I am left in the lurch[00:00:57]

In the house of old Darby O'Leary[00:01:00]

I well recollected was mickle must night[00:01:02]

To a hearty good supper he did me invite[00:01:07]

A cup of sour milk that was more green than white[00:01:10]

And it gave me the threatened disorder[00:01:15]

The wet oul potatoes would poison the cats[00:01:19]

And the barn where me bed was with sworn with rats[00:01:21]

The fleas would have frightened the fearless Saint Pat'[00:01:26]

Who banished the snake o'er the border [00:01:29]

He worked me by day and he worked me by night[00:01:33]

While he held an old candle to give me some light[00:01:36]

I wished these potatoes would die of the blight[00:01:40]

Or himself would go off with the fairies[00:01:43]

'TWas on this old miser I looked with a frown[00:01:47]

When the straw was brought in for to make me shake down[00:01:51]

And I wished that I'd never seen him nor his town[00:01:54]

Nor the sky over Darby O'Leary[00:01:58]

I've worked in Kilconnal I've worked in Kilmore[00:02:02]

I've worked in Knockannie and Shanbalamore[00:02:05]

And Pallas and Nigger and Salahatmore[00:02:06]

With farmers so decent and cheery[00:02:08]

I've worked in Tipperary the rag in Rossgreen[00:02:12]

At the mount of Kilfacel the bridge of Aleen[00:02:19]

Such woe-full starvation I never yet seen[00:02:24]

As I got from ould Darby O'Leary"[00:02:26]
