Mick McGuire

Oh, me name is Mick McGuire and I’ll quickly tell to you
Of a girl that I admired, she was Katy Donahue
Ah, she’s fair and fat and forty and believe me when I say
Whenever I came through the door I could hear her mother say
«Johnny, get up from the fire, get up and give your man a sate
Can’t you see it’s Mick McGuire and he’s courting your sister Kate
You know very well he owns a farm a wee bit out of the town
Arragh, get out of that, you impudent brat and let the Mac sit down»
Well, the first time that I met her was a dance at Donaghadee
When I very quietly asked her if she’d dance a step for me
I asked if I could take her home for she’d be on me way
Whenever I came through the door I could hear her mother say
«Johnny, get up from the fire, get up and give your man a sate
Can’t you see it’s Mick McGuire and he’s courting your sister Kate
You know very well he owns a farm a wee bit out of the town
Arragh, get out of that, you impudent brat and let the Mac sit down»
And now that we are married, her mother changed her mind
All because I spent the money her father left behind
She hasn’t got the decency to give me time of day
Whenever I came through the door I could hear her mother say
«Johnny, come up to the fire, come up, you’re sitting in the draft
Can’t you see it’s old McGuire and he nearly drives me daft
Sure I don’t know what gets in him, and he’s always on the tare
So sit where you are and never you dare, give old McGuire the chair»
«Sure I don’t know what gets in him when he’s always on the tare
So sit where you are and never you dare, give old McGuire the chair»
«Sure I don’t know what gets in him when he’s always on the tare
So sit where you are and never you dare, give old McGuire the chair»
