Mrs McGrath (Bonus Track - From 'The Dubliners In Person')

The Dubliners
앨범 : The Dubliners (Bonus Track Edition)

With your toor ri ya fol da diddle ya
Toor ri toor ri toor ri ya
Now Mrs McGrath Dr Tierney did brag
Send your so up to college
where he can study Ag
He`ll a Volkswagen car and a tener a week flat
Mrs McGrath wouldn`t you like that
With your toor ri ya fol da diddle ya
Toor ri toor ri toor ri ya
Now Mrs McGrath came from County Clare
And for forty seven or
more years she lived there
She was a milkin` cows and a feedin` pigs
To keep ol` Ciaran in his Dublin digs
With your toor ri ya fol da diddle ya
Toor ri toor ri toor ri ya
Said a friend one day What a terrible shame
As she swept out the kitchen a letter came
It bore bad news which was not expected
Ciaran had failed four times
and he was now rejected
With your toor ri ya fol da diddle ya
Toor ri toor ri toor ri ya
So Ciaran then wrote back to daddy
he said Dear Daddy
It wasn`t the work and it wasn`t the strain
And wasn`t on your own darling
son that lay the blame
For when I came up
Clare I was an innocent lad
But the fellas in the digs
they drove me to the bad
With your toor ri ya fol da diddle ya
Toor ri toor ri toor ri ya
I tried to stay and work at night
The fellas in the digs took me out on the skite
And when you sent me
me fees now what do you think
Sure I spent all the money
on the women and the drink
With your toor ri ya fol da diddle ya
Toor ri toor ri toor ri ya
So the moral of the story is plain and clear
Stay away from the women and stay off the beer
And if you got a son on the farmer
Keep the young pup there
where he`ll be out of harm
With your toor ri ya fol da diddle ya
Toor ri toor ri toor ri ya
