Thread Name: Lyr Req: I Had a Hat when I Came In (J Mooney)
Subject: I had a hat when I came in ...
My Dad used to sing this song with an Irish brogue, which tells me, at least he believes the song came from his Irish tradition. It went like this:
I had a hat when I came in
I hung it on the rack
and I'll have a hat when I go out
or I'll break somebody's back
I'm a peaceful loving man I am,
and I don't want to shout, BUT
I had a hat when I came in,
and I'll have a hat when I go out!
If ya know anything about the song I'd love to hear. If have anymore words, I'd love to hear them ... thanks ...
