《Town of Ballybay》歌词

[00:00:00] Town Of Ballybay - Larry Smith

[00:00:02] In the town of ballybay there was a lassie dwelling

[00:00:05] I knew her very well and her story's well worth telling

[00:00:07] Her father kept a still and he was a good distiller

[00:00:10] But when she took to the drink well the devil wouldn't fill her

[00:00:12] Ring-a-ding-a-dong ring-a-ding-a-daddy-o

[00:00:15] Ring-a-ding-a-dong whack fol the daddy o

[00:00:20] She had a wooden leg that was hollow down the middle

[00:00:22] She used to tie a string on it and play it like a fiddle

[00:00:24] She fiddled in the hall and she fiddled in the alleyway

[00:00:27] She didn't give a damn for she had to fiddle anyway

[00:00:29] Ring-a-ding-a-dong ring-a-ding-a-daddy-o

[00:00:32] Ring-a-ding-a-dong whack fol the daddy o

[00:00:37] She said she couldn't dance unless she had her wellie on

[00:00:39] But when she had it on she could dance as well as anyone

[00:00:41] She wouldn't go to bed unless she had her shimmy on

[00:00:44] But when she had it on she would go as quick as anyone

[00:00:46] Ring-a-ding-a-dong ring-a-ding-a-daddy-o

[00:00:49] Ring-a-ding-a-dong whack fol the daddy o

[00:00:53] She had lovers by the score every tom and dick and harry

[00:00:56] She was courted night and day but still she wouldn't marry

[00:00:59] But then she fell in love with a fellow with a stammer

[00:01:01] When he tried to run away well she hit him with a hammer

[00:01:03] Ring-a-ding-a-dong ring-a-ding-a-daddy-o

[00:01:06] Ring-a-ding-a-dong whack fol the daddy o

[00:01:10] She had children up the stairs she had children by the byre

[00:01:13] And another ten or twelve sitting roaring by the fire

[00:01:15] She fed them on potatoes and on soup she made with nettles

[00:01:18] And lumps of hairy bacon that she boiled up in the kettle

[00:01:20] Ring-a-ding-a-dong ring-a-ding-a-daddy-o

[00:01:23] Ring-a-ding-a-dong whack fol the daddy o

[00:01:27] She led a sheltered life eating porridge and black pudding

[00:01:30] And she terrorized her man until he died quite sudden

[00:01:32] And when her husband died well she wasn't very sorry

[00:01:35] She rolled him in a bag and she threw him in a quarry

[00:01:37] Ring-a-ding-a-dong ring-a-ding-a-daddy-o

[00:01:40] Ring-a-ding-a-dong whack fol the daddy o

[00:01:42] Ring-a-ding-a-dong ring-a-ding-a-daddy-o

[00:01:45] Ring-a-ding-a-dong whack fol the daddy o
