I wonder if anyone can help with this song. I've assumed it's called 'Some Say That Kissings A Sin', but I wouldn't like to swear to that. I think The Dubliners used to do it. What I never did figure out was the second half of the last line of the chorus, it could be : Pure folk would get none OR poor folk could get hung Or something else entirely different. Anyway, the words as I remember them... Some say that kissing's a sin, But tell me how can that be true ? For Kissing has been in this world Since the very first day there were two Chorus : Now if it wasn't legal, well the lawyers they would sue, And the prisons would be full o'folks who'd had a kiss (bet/curse/smoke/drink) or two And if they didn't like it -away the girls would run And if there wasn't plenty, well, the ?poor they would get ?none Remaining verses : Well, some say that gambling's a sin, But I'll bet you fifty to one, That gambling has been in this world, Since greyhounds and horses first run. CHORUS And some say that swearing's a sin, But where is the man that can tell, For swearing has been in the world, Since the Divil was told "go to hell". CHORUS Now some say that smoking's a sin And a pipe now & then is enough, But smoking has been in the world, Since Adam taught Eve how to puff. CHORUS And some say that drinking's a sin, But a gargle is fine now and then, But drinking has been in this world, Forever and ever, AMEN ! CHORUSLine Breaks <br> added. -Joe Offer-
