The Crack Was Ninety in the Isle of Man - The Dubliners/Ronnie Drew[00:00:00]
Well weren't we the rare oul' stock[00:00:04]
Spent the evenin' gettin' locked[00:00:06]
In the Ace O' Hearts where the high stools were engaging[00:00:09]
Over the Butte Bridge down by the dock [00:00:12]
The boat she sailed at five o'clock [00:00:14]
Ah hurry on said Whack [00:00:16]
Or before we're there we'll all be back[00:00:18]
Carry him if you can[00:00:20]
Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man [00:00:22]
Before we reached the Alexander Base[00:00:27]
The ding dong we did surely raise[00:00:28]
In the bar of the ship had great sport[00:00:31]
As the boat she sailed out of the port[00:00:32]
Landed up in the Douglas Head[00:00:34]
Enquiring for a vacant bed[00:00:36]
The dining room we soon got shown[00:00:39]
By a decent looking woman[00:00:41]
Saying Lads ate up if you can [00:00:42]
Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man [00:00:44]
Next morning we went for a ramble round[00:00:49]
Viewed the sights of Douglas Town[00:00:51]
Ended up in a mighty session[00:00:53]
In a pub they call Dick Darby's [00:00:55]
We all got drunk by half past three[00:00:57]
To sober up we went swimmin' in the sea[00:00:59]
Back to the digs for the spruce up[00:01:01]
While waitin' for the Rosie we all drew up our plan [00:01:03]
Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man [00:01:07]
That night we went to the Texas Bar [00:01:11]
Came back down by horse and car[00:01:13]
Met Big Jim and all went in[00:01:15]
To drink some wine in Yates'[00:01:17]
The Liverpool girls it was said[00:01:19]
Were all to be found in the Douglas Head [00:01:21]
McShane was there in tie and shirt [00:01:23]
The foreign queer was tryin' to flirt [00:01:25]
Sayin' Hey girls I'm your man [00:01:27]
Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man [00:01:29]
Whacker fancied his good looks[00:01:34]
On the Isle of Man woman he was struck[00:01:35]
The Liverpool lad was by her side and [00:01:38]
And he threw the jars into her [00:01:40]
Whacker thought he'd take a chance[00:01:42]
He asked the quare one out to dance[00:01:44]
Around the floor they rocked and rolled[00:01:46]
To Whack it was no bother[00:01:48]
Everythin' was goin' to plan [00:01:49]
Oh The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man [00:01:52]
The Isle of Man woman fancied Whack[00:01:56]
Your man stood there till his mates came back[00:01:58]
Whack They all whacked into Whack[00:02:00]
Whack was landed on his back [00:02:02]
The police force arrived as well [00:02:04]
Banjoed a couple of them as well [00:02:06]
Landed up in the Douglas gaol [00:02:08]
'Til the Dublin boat did sail [00:02:10]
Deported every man [00:02:12]
Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man [00:02:14]
Yes the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man[00:02:18]
