Courting In The Kitchen - The Clancy Brothers/Tommy Makem[00:00:00]

Come single belle and beau unto me pay attention[00:00:02]

Don't ever fall in love it's the Devil's own invention[00:00:06]

For once I fell in love with a maiden so bewitchin'[00:00:10]

Miss Henrietta Bell out of Captain Kelly's kitchen[00:00:14]

With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie[00:00:18]

Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie[00:00:21]

At the age of seventeen I was prenticed to a grocer[00:00:25]

Not far from Steven's Green where Miss Henry used to go sir[00:00:29]

Her manners were sublime she set me heart a twitchin'[00:00:33]

And she invited me to a hooley in the kitchen[00:00:37]

With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie[00:00:41]

Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie[00:00:44]

Next Sunday being the day we were to have the flare up[00:00:48]

I dressed myself quite gay and I frizzed and oiled me hair up[00:00:52]

The Captain had no wife and he had gone a fishin'[00:00:56]

And we kicked up high down below stairs in the kitchen[00:01:00]

With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie[00:01:03]

Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie[00:01:07]

Just as the clock struck six we sat down to the table[00:01:11]

She handed tay and cake and I ate while I was able[00:01:14]

I drank hot punch and tay till me side had got to stitchin'[00:01:18]

And the hours passed quick away when you're courting in the kitchen[00:01:22]

With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie[00:01:25]

Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie[00:01:29]

With me arms around her waist she slyly hinted marriage[00:01:33]

To the door in dreadful haste came Captain Kelly's carriage[00:01:37]

Her eyes down filled with hate and poison she was spittin'[00:01:40]

When the Captain at the door walked right into the kitchen[00:01:44]

With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie[00:01:48]

Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie[00:01:52]

She flew up off me knees full five feet up or higher[00:01:55]

And over head and heels through me slap into the fire[00:01:59]

Me new repealer's coat that I bought from Mr Mitchell[00:02:03]

With a twenty shilling note went to blazes in the kitchen[00:02:07]

With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie[00:02:10]

Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie[00:02:14]

I grieved to see me duds all smeared with soot and ashes[00:02:18]

When a tub of dirty suds right in me face she dashes[00:02:22]

As I lay on the floor the water she kept pitchin'[00:02:26]

The footman broke the door and walked straight into the kitchen[00:02:29]

With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie[00:02:33]

Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie[00:02:37]

When the Captain came downstairs though he saw me situation[00:02:40]

In spite all of me prayers I was marched off to the station[00:02:44]

For me they'd take no bail but to get home I was itchin'[00:02:48]

But I had to tell the tale how I came into the kitchen[00:02:52]

With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie[00:02:55]

Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie[00:02:59]

I said she did invite me but she gave a flat denial[00:03:03]

For assault she did indict me and I was sent for trial[00:03:07]

She swore I robbed the house in spite of all her screechin'[00:03:10]

And I got six months hard for me courtin' in the kitchen[00:03:14]

With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie[00:03:18]

Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie[00:03:22]
