Mary Black - Colcannon lyrics

Well did you ever make colcannon, Made with lovely pickled cream With the greens & scallions mingled Like a pitcher in a dream Did you ever make a hole on top To hold the meltin' flake Or the creamy flavoured bu*ter That our mother's used to make Chorus Oh you did, so you did So did he and so did i And the more i think about it Sure the nearer i'm to cry Oh weren't them the happy days When troubles we knew not And or mother made colcannon In the little sk**et pot Well, did you ever take potatoe cake And boxty to the school Tucked underneath your oxter with Your books, your slate and rule And when teacher wasn't looking' Sure a great big bite you'd take Of the creamy flavoured soft and meltin' Sweet potatoe cake Chorus Well did you ever go a courtin' boys When the evenin' sun went down And the moon began a peepin' From behind the hill o' down And you wandered down the boreen Where the cl And you whispered lovin' praises to Your own dear sweet c Chorus
