The Story I Tell You Is True - Philomena Begley[00:00:00]

Come stroll for a while through my memory[00:00:09]

And I'll tell you of times long ago[00:00:13]

When we walked to school summer and winter[00:00:18]

Barefoot through the fields we would go[00:00:22]

I remember our little thatched cottage[00:00:27]

And the half-door led into the hall[00:00:31]

The crane over the fire in the kitchen[00:00:37]

And the grandfather clock on the wall[00:00:40]

Oh the stout it was cured with a poker[00:00:46]

And poiting they said cured the flu[00:00:50]

The bacon it hung from the ceiling[00:00:55]

Sure this story I tell you is true[00:00:59]

We went in the trap to mass sundays[00:01:05]

And grandad would wear his best hat[00:01:08]

The priest would recite from the altar[00:01:14]

And the women in different seats sat[00:01:17]

Matchmaking was part of tradition[00:01:23]

And the rambling house filled up at night[00:01:27]

When the tailor would tell the ghost stories[00:01:32]

Oh the children would shiver with fright[00:01:36]

Oh the stout it was cured with a poker[00:01:41]

And poiting they said cured the flu[00:01:45]

The bacon it hung from the ceiling[00:01:51]

Sure this story I tell you is true[00:01:54]

I remember the sound of the anvil[00:02:09]

And the burning horse-hoof we would smell[00:02:13]

We passed the forge door in the evening[00:02:18]

With water we fetched from the well[00:02:22]

We spancelled the cows before milking[00:02:27]

Tied the horse to the wall through the shoe[00:02:32]

His collar and hames his winkers and reins[00:02:37]

The harness we kept it like new[00:02:41]

Oh the stout it was cured with a poker[00:02:46]

And poiting they said cured the flu[00:02:50]

The bacon it hung from the ceiling[00:02:55]

Sure this story I tell you is true[00:02:59]

For miles to the fair in the darkness[00:03:05]

With our animals we walked with delight[00:03:08]

When the wheeling and dealing was over[00:03:14]

Every one waited on for the fight[00:03:17]

Now I hope that in telling this story[00:03:23]

I haven't detained you too long[00:03:28]

There is so much more I must tell you[00:03:32]

Some day in some other song[00:03:36]

Oh the stout it was cured with a poker[00:03:41]

And poiting they said cured the flu[00:03:45]

The bacon it hung from the ceiling[00:03:51]

Sure this story I tell you is true[00:03:54]

Sure this story I tell you is true[00:03:59]
