Brian O'Lynn

Brian O'Lynn were a gentle-man born
Helived in a time when no clothes were worn
When fashions stepped out Brian O'Lynn he stepped in
"I think it'll do," said Brian O'Lynn, "It'll do"
"It'll do," said Brian O'Lynn. "It'll do."

Brian O'Lynn had no breeches to wear,
So he got him a sheepskin to make him a pair
With the skinny side out and the woolly side in
"They're beautiful warm," said Brian O'Lynn
"And they'll do, they'll do," said Brian O'Lynn. "They'll do".

Brian O'Lynn had no watch for to wear,
So he got him a turnip and scooped it out fair,
He got a live cricket and stuck it within
"They'll think its a ticker" said Brian O'Lynn
"It'll do, it'll do" said Brian O'Lynn. "It'll do".

Brian O'Lynn, his house had no door,
He'd the sky for a roof and muck for the floor,
A way to jump out and a way to swim in    '
"I get lots of fresh air" said Brian O'Lynn
"It'll do, it'll do," said Brian O'Lynn. "It'll do."

Brian O'Lynn went to fetch his wife home,
He'd nobbut one horse that was all skin and bone
He seated her on it as neat as a pin
"I can't tell them apart," said Brian O'Lynn
"It'll do, it'll do," said Brian O'Lynn. "It'll do."

Brian O'Lynn his wife and wife's mother
Were all going over the bridge together
The bridge it broke and the woman fell in,
"You'll find land at the bottom," said Brian O'Lynn
"It'll do, it'll do" said Brian O'Lynn. "It'll do".
