The Dubliners - Jar of Porter lyrics

Toora loora loora la, toora loora loora la Toora loora loora la, give the child a jar of porter Toora loora loora la, toora loora loora la Sing toora loora loora la, give the child a jar of porter If you want your child to grow, your child to grow, your child to grow If you want your child to grow, give 'im a jar of porter Sing toora loora loora la, toora loora loora la Sing toora loora loora la, give 'im a jar of porter When I was young and cradle cake, no drop of milk now would I take Me father up, then had his spake, "Give the child a jar of porter" Sing toora loora loora la, toora loora loora la; Sing toora loora loora la, give the child a jar of porter When I am dead and in my grave, I hope for me a prayer you'll say And as you're pa**ing by that you'll throw in a jar of porter Toora loora loora la, toora loora loora la Sing toora loora loora la, throw in a jar of porter Sad verse And when I reach the golden gates, I hope I'll not have long to wait I'll call Saint Peter aside and say "Brought yup a jar of porter" Sing toora loora loora la, toora loora loora la Sing toora loora loora la, brought yup a jar of porter
