Ryan's Fancy - Galway City lyrics

One, two - one, three, four As I roved out through Galway city At the hour of twelve in the night Who should I see but a handsome damsel Combing her hair by candlelight "La**ie, I have come a-courting Your fine favours for to win??? And if you'll but smile on me Next Sunday night I'll call again" Whack-fol-dee-too-ra-loo-ra-lah-dee Whack-fol-dee-too-ra-loo-ra-lay Whack-fol-dee-too-ra-loo-ra-lah-dee Whack-fol-dee-too-ra-loo-ra-lay "So to me you come a-courting My fine favours for to win It would give me the greatest pleasure If you never did call again What would I do when I go a-walking Walking out in the morning dew What would I do when I go a-walking Walking out with a lad like you?" Whack-fol-dee-too-ra-loo-ra-lah-dee Whack-fol-dee-too-ra-loo-ra-lay Whack-fol-dee-too-ra-loo-ra-lah-dee Whack-fol-dee-too-ra-loo-ra-lay "La**ie, I have gold and silver La**ie, I have houses and lands La**ie, I have ships on the ocean They'll be all at your command "What do I want with your ships on the ocean? What do I want with your houses and lands? What do I want with your gold and silver? All I want is a handsome man" Whack-fol-dee-too-ra-loo-ra-lah-dee Whack-fol-dee-too-ra-loo-ra-lay Whack-fol-dee-too-ra-loo-ra-lah-dee Whack-fol-dee-too-ra-loo-ra-lay Did you ever see the gra** in the morning All bedecked with j**els so rare? Did you ever see a handsome damsel Diamonds sparkling in her hair? Did you ever see a copper kettle Mended with an old tin can? Did you ever see a handsome damsel Married off to an ugly man? Whack-fol-dee-too-ra-loo-ra-lah-dee Whack-fol-dee-too-ra-loo-ra-lay Whack-fol-dee-too-ra-loo-ra-lah-dee Whack-fol-dee-too-ra-loo-ra-lay
