Paddy,

It's been many many years since I used to sing this song, so many that I can't remember all the woerds however here are the ones that I recall, I'm sure the rest will show up soon. Enjoy

TWICE DAILY

WhenI was a lad, I were so glad
To be out in the daytime
With me fork and me bottle and me cork
To help out with the haytime
One day while out upon the moo (meadow) I met with Lucy Daley
I said my dear do you oft comes here
She said "Yes Sir - Twice Daily"

We had such fun in the summer fun
Lucy were so willin
So sweet and pure but I were'nt sure
If young girls be willin
One day while out upon the mo
as we was working gaily
She up and slipped and somethin ripped
And I went there twice daily
Nine months went past and now this lass
Thickened round the middle
????????????????????????????,br> ????????????????????????????????????????????????
It ain't new bread the young girl said
?????????????????????????????????????????????????,br>

Lucy's dad got very mad, he chased I round the hay mo
He said my son you;ve had your fun
the time has come to pay now
My girl you'll wed her old man said
As he waved the shotgun gaily
If you don't he said
you'll get some lead
And you won't go back twice daily

Well now we're old and our story told
forty years together
But still we stray where we tossed the hay
In the good old summer weather
Nice kids we got, bout five or more
But we go on quite gaily
Though we're old and grey, I gets me way
and I still go there twice daily
