Oh, me name is Mick Maguire and I'll quickly tell to you Of a young girl I admired, called Katy Donohue She was fair and fat and forty and believe me when I say That whenever I came in at the door you could hear her mammy say Johnny get up from the fire, get up and give the man a seat Can't you see it's Mr. Maguire and he's courtin' your sister Kate Ah, you know very well he owns a farm a wee bit out of the town Arragh get up out of that, you impudent brat, and let Mr Maguire sit down Chorus Diddle e dowdle-owdle-owdle Diddle e dowdle-owdle-ow Diddle e dowdle-owdle-owdle Diddle e dowdle-owdle-ow Ah, you know very well he owns a farm a wee bit out of the town Arragh get up out of that, you impudent brat, and let Mr Maguire sit down Now the first that I met her, was at the dance at Tarmagee And I very kindly asked her, if she'd dance a step with me Then I asked if I could see her home, if I'd be going her way And whenever I'd come in at the door you could hear her mammy say Johnny get up from the fire, get up and give the man a seat Can't you see it's Mr. Maguire and he's courtin' your sister Kate Ah, you know very well he owns a farm a wee bit out of the town Arragh get up out of that, you impudent brat, and let Mr Maguire sit down Chorus Diddle e dowdle-owdle-owdle Diddle e dowdle-owdle-ow Diddle e dowdle-owdle-owdle Diddle e dowdle-owdle-ow Ah, you know very well he owns a farm a wee bit out of the town Arragh get up out of that, you impudent brat, and let Mr Maguire sit down Ah, but now that we are married, sure, her mother's changed her mind Just because I spent the legacy her father left behind She hasn't got the decency to bid me time of day That whenever I come in at the door you'd hear the ould one say Johnny come up to the fire, come up, you're sitting in the draft Can't you see it's ould Maguire and he nearly drives me daft Ah I don't know what gets into him, for he's always on the tare Arragh just sit where you are and never you dare to give ould Maguire the chair Chorus Diddle e dowdle-owdle-owdle Diddle e dowdle-owdle-ow Diddle e dowdle-owdle-owdle Diddle e dowdle-owdle-ow Ah I don't know what gets into him, for he's always on the tare Arragh just sit where you are and never you dare to give ould Maguire the chair Another version Oh, me name it is Maguire and I'll quickly tell to you Of a pretty girl that I admire, called Kitty Donoghue She's fair and fat and forty and believe me when I say Every time that we go courtin' you could hear her mother say Chorus Johnny get up from the fire, get up and give the man a seat Don't you see it's Mr. Maguire and he's courtin' your sister Kate Ah, you know very well he owns a farm a little way out of the town Will you get up out of there, and take the air, and let Mr Maguire sit down Well the first that I met her, was the Pattern at Tralee And I asked her very kindly, if she'd dance a step with me She wanted to know if I'd see her home, and with her have some tea Well I no sooner got inside the door when I heard her mother say I asked her if she'd marry me, and become my darling bride And we are going to tie the knot, before the next Shrovetide When we're in our little love nest, we'll have currant cake and tae We'll invite her mother to visit us, I'll imagine I hear her mother say Regards Mick Bracken |

03 Jul 00 - 01:21 PM (#251158) Subject: Chords Add: MICK MAGUIRE From: GUEST,Ian Although someone on this site made some disparaging remarks about the Irish Rovers, I've always found them to be a very entertaining band, and their CDs are a great source of material because everyone wants to sing along. Here is their version of Mick Maguire; I worked out the chords by referring to the fiddle tune called "Napoleon Crossing the Rocky Mountains", after finding a reference to the connection on this thread. Cool, eh? Thanks for the help. MICK MAGUIRE
Well the first time I met her was at a dance at Donaghadee I very kindly asked her would she dance a step with me I asked if I could see her home, if she'd be goin' me way But whenever I come in at the door, you could hear the ould one say Johnny get up from the fire, get up, and give yer man a seat Can't you see it's Mick Maguire and he's courtin' your sister Kate You know very well he owns a farm a wee bit out o' the town Ach, get out of that, ye impudent brat, let Mr. Maguire sit down Ah but now that we are married, her Mam has changed her mind Because I spent the money that me Daddy left behind That she hasn't got the dacency to give me time of the day And whenever I come in at the door, you can hear her Mammy say Johnny come up to the fire, come up, you're sittin' in a draft Can't you see it's ould Maguire, and he nearly drives me daft Sure I don't know what gets in him and he's always on the tear So just sit where ye are, and never you dare, give ould Maguire the chair Diddley oudl oudl oudl oudl Diddley oudl dow Diddley oudl oudl oudl oudl Diddley oudl dow Sure I don't know what gets in him and he's always on the tear So just sit where ye are, and never you dare, give ould Maguire the chair Diddley oudl oudl oudl oudl Diddley oudl dow Diddley oudl oudl oudl oudl Diddley oudl dow Sure I don't know what gets in him and he's always on the tear So just sit where ye are, and never you dare [clap clap] give ould Maguire the chair Great song! Enjoy! |
