Three lovely Lassies from Kimmage Songtext

von Patsy Watchorn

[/Chorus]
There were three lovely lassies from Kimmage
From Kimmage, from Kimmage, from Kimmage
And whenever there's a bit of a scrimmage
Sure I was the toughest of all
Sure I was the toughest of all.
[Chorus/]

Well the cause of the row is Joe Cashin
Joe Cashin, Joe Cashin, Joe Cashin
For he told me he thought I looked smashin'
At a dance in the St. Anthony's Hall
At a dance in the St. Anthony's Hall.

Well the other two young ones were flippin'
Were flippin', Were flippin'
When they saw me and Joe we were trippin'
To the strains of the Tennesse Waltz
To the strains of the Tennesse Waltz.

When he gets a few jars he goes frantic
Goes frantic, goes frantic, goes frantic
But he's tall and he's dark and romantic
And I love him in spite of it all
And I love him in spite of it all.

Now me Ma said she thought we should marry
Should marry, should marry, should marry
She said it was foolish to tarry
So she lent him the price of a ring
So she lent him the price of a ring.

Now me dad says he'll buy us a present
A present, a present
A stool and a lousy stuffed pheasant
And a picture to hang on the wall
And a picture to hang on the wall.

We went down to the tenancy section
The section, the section, the section
The T.D. just before the election
Said he'd get me a house near me ma.
Said he'd get me a house near me ma.

Now we're getting a house the man said it.
He said it, he said it, he said it
When I've nine or ten kids to me credit
In the meantime we'll live with me ma
In the meantime we'll live with me ma.
