Yup picked that up from the rest of the thread...Still think ' sea man ' made for a nifty version...ah well So I counted out his money an' it made a pretty penny I put it in me pocket an' I took it home ta Jenny She sighed and she swore that she never would decieve me But the devil take th' women for they never can be aisy (easy) mush-a-ring dom-a-doo dom-a-di White fall the derry-o White fall the derry-o There's-a whisky in th' jar I went unto my chambers all for t' take a slumber I dreamt of gold an' jewels an' for sure i'twas no wonder But Jenny drew me charges an' she filled 'em up with water Then sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for th' slaughter mush-a-ring dom-a-doo dom-a-di etc. 'Twas early in the mornin' just before I rose t'travel Up comes a band o' footmen and likeways Captain Farrel I first produced me pistol for she'd stolen away me rapier But I couldna shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken mush-a-ring dom-a-doo dom-a-di etc. Now there's some takes delight in the carriages a'rollin' And other take delight in th' hurley an' the bowlin' But I take delight in the juice o' the barely An' courtin' pretty fair maids o' a mornin' bright an' early mush a ring dom a doo dom a di If anyone can aid me 'tis me brother in the army If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarny And if he'll go with me, we'll go rollin' in Kilkenny An' I'm sure he'll treat me better than me only sportin' Jenny Mush a ring dom a doo dom a di *sigh* I do love singin' me Irish music...I believe this is the Dubliners version
