Nell Flaherty's Drake - The Clancy Brothers/Tommy Makem[00:00:00]

Oh my name it is Nell and the truth for to tell[00:00:04]

I come from Cootehill which I'll never deny[00:00:07]

I had a fine drake and I'd die for his sake[00:00:11]

That me grandmother left me and she goin' to die[00:00:15]

The dear little fellow his legs they were yellow[00:00:19]

He could fly like a swallow or swim like a hake[00:00:22]

Till some dirty savage to grease his white cabbage[00:00:26]

Most wantonly murdered me beautiful drake[00:00:30]

Now his neck it was green almost fit to be seen[00:00:34]

He was fit for a queen of the highest degree[00:00:37]

His body was white and it would you delight[00:00:41]

He was plump fat and heavy and brisk as a bee[00:00:45]

He was wholesome and sound he would weigh twenty pound[00:00:48]

And the universe round I would roam for his sake[00:00:52]

Bad luck to the robber be he drunk or sober[00:00:56]

That murdered Nell Flaherty's beautiful drake[00:00:59]

May his spade never dig may his sow never pig[00:01:04]

May each hair in his wig be well trashed with the flail[00:01:07]

My his door never latch may his roof have no thatch[00:01:11]

May his turkeys not hatch may the rats eat his meal[00:01:14]

May every old fairy from Cork to Dun Laoghaire[00:01:18]

Dip him snug and airy in river or lake[00:01:22]

That the eel and the trout they may dine on the snout[00:01:25]

Of the monster that murdered Nell Flaherty's drake[00:01:29]

May his pig never grunt may his cat never hunt[00:01:34]

May a ghost ever haunt him the dead of the night[00:01:37]

May his hens never lay may his horse never neigh[00:01:41]

May his coat fly away like an old paper kite[00:01:44]

That the flies and the fleas may the wretch ever tease[00:01:48]

May the piercin' March breeze make him shiver and shake[00:01:52]

May a lump of the stick raise the bumps fast and quick[00:01:55]

On the monster that murdered Nell Flaherty's drake[00:01:59]

Well the only good news that I have to infuse[00:02:03]

Is that old Paddy Hughes and young Anthony Blake[00:02:07]

Also Johnny Dwyer and Corney Maguire[00:02:10]

They each have a grandson of my darlin' drake[00:02:14]

May treasure had dozens of nephews and cousins[00:02:18]

And one I must get or me heart it will break[00:02:21]

For to set me mind easy or else I'll run crazy[00:02:25]

So ends the whole song of Nell Flaherty's drake[00:02:29]
