Mickey Marley's Roundabout - Barnbrack[00:00:00]
Mickey marley had a wee horse[00:00:06]
Kept it at the back of the house of course[00:00:09]
It wouldn't eat grass and it wouldn't eat hay[00:00:12]
But it would eat sugar lumps all the day[00:00:14]
Mickey got wood and wheels for a start[00:00:17]
Then he sat down and made a wee cart[00:00:20]
He hammered and he hammered and he footered about[00:00:23]
Until he'd built a roundabout[00:00:25]
Round and round and up and down[00:00:28]
Through the streets of belfast town[00:00:31]
All the children laugh and shout[00:00:34]
Oh here comes mickey's roundabout[00:00:36]
Then he went from street to street[00:00:39]
A penny a time and take your seat[00:00:42]
A hobby-horse or a motor car[00:00:44]
Jump on son and hold the bar[00:00:47]
The children's faces shine with glee[00:00:50]
Laughs and smiles a sight to see[00:00:53]
Haven't got a penny and your ma's gone out[00:00:56]
You'll still get on his roundabout[00:00:58]
Round and round and up and down[00:01:01]
Through the streets of belfast town[00:01:04]
All the children laugh and shout[00:01:07]
Oh here comes mickey's roundabout[00:01:09]
Then alas to his dismay[00:01:12]
The roundabout was burnt one day[00:01:15]
Mickey lost everything he had[00:01:18]
And all the children were so sad[00:01:20]
But his friends they gathered 'round[00:01:23]
From every part of belfast town[00:01:26]
They hammered and they hammered and they footered about[00:01:29]
And built him a brand new roundabout[00:01:31]
Round and round and up and down[00:01:34]
Through the streets of belfast town[00:01:37]
All the children laugh and shout[00:01:40]
Oh here comes mickey's roundabout[00:01:42]
Hobby horses don't get old[00:01:45]
On winter days don't feel the cold[00:01:49]
But mickey knows each winter pass[00:01:54]
The round-about is still at last[00:01:59]
No more we'll here the happy sound[00:02:03]
Of his round-about in belfast town[00:02:07]
But we find a horse and a wee small man[00:02:12]
Oh the joy they spread across the land[00:02:19]
Round and round and up and down[00:02:22]
Through the streets of belfast town[00:02:24]
All the children laugh and shout[00:02:27]
For here comes mickey's roundabout[00:02:30]
Round and round and up and down[00:02:32]
Through the streets of belfast town[00:02:35]
All the children laugh and shout[00:02:38]
