Thread Name: Two tunes for Sean Van Vocht?
Subject: RE: Two tunes for Sean Van Vocht?
fell in love with this song when his first album came out
the lyrics as best I can determine from listening to Robbie O'Connell's version on Close to the Bone... but that last two lines elude me
If you come down to our street
Inquire at number nine
And you may ask one and you may ask two
But the red haired one is mine
With a too ri ah, fal dal liddle dah
Too ri ah, she's a gay old hag
I sat her on a bed of down
I sat her down quite easy
Three kisses then I stole from her
The last one drove her crazy
refrain
And I have a wife, and a pretty little wife
And I know I'll not forsake her
But there's not a town that I go down
But I get one if I take her
refrain
And I have money in my purse
And money in my pocket
?
?
refrain
