lyrics
Come single belle and beau, unto me pay attention
Don’t ever fall in love, it’s the devil’s own invention
For Once I fell in love with a lady so bewitching
Miss Henrietta Bell out of Captain Kelly’s kitchen
Singing toora loora la, toora loora laddie,
toora loora la, with me toora loora laddie
At the age of seventeen I was ‘prenticed to a grocer
Not far from Stephen’s Green, where Miss Henry used to go sir
Her manners were so fine, she set my heart a-twitchin’
She invited me to a hoolie’ in the kitchen
Singing toora loora la, toora loora laddie,
toora loora la, with me toora loora laddie
Next Sunday being the day, that we went to have a flare-up
I dressed me self quite gay and I frizzed and oiled me hair up
The captain had no wife, and he had gone on fishin’
And we kicked up high life downstairs in the kitchen
Singing toora loora la, toora loora laddie,
toora loora la, with me toora loora laddie
With her arms around me waist, she slyly hinted marriage
When to the door in haste, came captain Kelly’s carriage
Her eyes were full of hate, the poision she was spittin’
When the captain and the guards come marchin to the Kitchen
Singing toora loora la, toora loora laddie,
toora loora la, with me toora loora laddie
When the captain came downstairs, oh he saw me situation
In spite of all me prayers, I was marched off to the station
For me they’d give no bail, but to get to the home I was itchin’
And I had to tell the tale, of my courtin in the kitchen
Singing toora loora la, toora loora laddie,
toora loora la, with me toora loora laddie
Well, I swore she did invite me, though she gave a flat denial
For assault, they did indict me and I was sent for trial
She said I robbed the house in spite of all me screechin’
And I got six months in jail, for me courtin’ in the kitchen
