The Halliard - Courtin' In The Kitchen lyrics

Come single belle and beau Unto me pay attention Don't ever fall in love It's the devil's own invention Well once I fell in love With a maiden so bewitching Miss Henrietta Bell Out of Captain Kelly's Kitchen With me too-rah-loo-rah-la And me too-rah-loo-rah-laddie Me too-rah-loo-rah-la And me Too-rah-loo-rah-laddie At the age of seventeen I was apprenticed to a grocer And not far from Stephen's Green Where Miss Henri used to go sir Her manners were so sublime She set me heart a twitching She invited me To a hooley in Captain Kelly's kitchen With me too-rah-loo-rah-la And me too-rah-loo-rah-laddie Me too-rah-loo-rah-la And me Too-rah-loo-rah-laddie Next Sunday being the day We were to have the flare up I dressed myself all gay And I frizzed an oiled me hair up The captain had no wife And he'd gone off a fishing And we kicked up the highlife Below the stairs in the kitchen With me too-rah-loo-rah-la And me too-rah-loo-rah-laddie Me too-rah-loo-rah-la And me Too-rah-loo-rah-laddie With me arms around her waist She slyly hinted marriage To the door in dreadful haste Came Captain Kelly's carriage Her eyes soon filled with hate And the poison she was spitting When the Captain came downstairs Right below there in the kitchen With me too-rah-loo-rah-la And me too-rah-loo-rah-laddie Me too-rah-loo-rah-la And me Too-rah-loo-rah-laddie When the Captain came downstairs Why he saw my situation In spite of all my prayers I was marched up to the station She said I robbed the house And to get home I was itching But I got six months hard For my courting in the kitchen With me too-rah-loo-rah-la And me too-rah-loo-rah-laddie Me too-rah-loo-rah-la And me Too-rah-loo-rah-laddie
