[00:00:00] Courting in the Kitchen - The Clancy Brothers/Tommy Makem

[00:00:02] Come single belle and beau unto me pay attention

[00:00:06] Don't ever fall in love it's the Devil's own invention

[00:00:10] For once I fell in love with a maiden so bewitchin'

[00:00:14] Miss Henrietta Bell out of Captain Kelly's kitchen

[00:00:18] With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie

[00:00:22] Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie

[00:00:25] At the age of seventeen I was prenticed to a grocer

[00:00:29] Not far from Steven's Green where Miss Henry used to go sir

[00:00:33] Her manners were sublime she set me heart a twitchin'

[00:00:37] And she invited me to a hooley in the kitchen

[00:00:41] With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie

[00:00:44] Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie

[00:00:48] Next Sunday being the day we were to have the flare up

[00:00:52] I dressed myself quite gay and I frizzed and oiled me hair up

[00:00:56] The Captain had no wife and he had gone a fishin'

[00:01:00] And we kicked up high down below stairs in the kitchen

[00:01:03] With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie

[00:01:07] Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie

[00:01:11] Just as the clock struck six we sat down to the table

[00:01:14] She handed tay and cake and I ate while I was able

[00:01:18] I drank hot punch and tay till me side had got to stitchin'

[00:01:22] And the hours passed quick away when you're courting in the kitchen

[00:01:25] With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie

[00:01:29] Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie

[00:01:33] With me arms around her waist she slyly hinted marriage

[00:01:37] To the door in dreadful haste came Captain Kelly's carriage

[00:01:40] Her eyes down filled with hate and poison she was spittin'

[00:01:44] When the Captain at the door walked right into the kitchen

[00:01:48] With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie

[00:01:52] Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie

[00:01:56] She flew up off me knees full five feet up or higher

[00:01:59] And over head and heels through me slap into the fire

[00:02:03] Me new repealer's coat that I bought from Mr Mitchell

[00:02:07] With a twenty shilling note went to blazes in the kitchen

[00:02:10] With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie

[00:02:14] Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie

[00:02:18] I grieved to see me duds all smeared with soot and ashes

[00:02:22] When a tub of dirty suds right in me face she dashes

[00:02:26] As I lay on the floor the water she kept pitchin'

[00:02:29] The footman broke the door and walked straight into the kitchen

[00:02:33] With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie

[00:02:37] Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie

[00:02:40] When the Captain came downstairs though he saw me situation

[00:02:44] In spite all of me prayers I was marched off to the station

[00:02:48] For me they'd take no bail but to get home I was itchin'

[00:02:52] But I had to tell the tale how I came into the kitchen

[00:02:55] With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie

[00:02:59] Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie

[00:03:03] I said she did invite me but she gave a flat denial

[00:03:07] For assault she did indict me and I was sent for trial

[00:03:10] She swore I robbed the house in spite of all her screechin'

[00:03:14] And I got six months hard for me courtin' in the kitchen

[00:03:18] With me too ra loo ra la me too ra loo ra laddie

[00:03:22] Me too ra loo ra la too ra loo ra laddie
