12 Nov 02 - 09:06 AM (#824105) Subject: Lyr Add: MICK MCGUIRE From: GUEST,Bill Kennedy it's in the DT MICK MCGUIRE Oh, me name is Mick McGuire and I'll quickly tell to you Of a young girl I admired called Kitty Donahue. 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. cho:"Johnny get up from the fire, get up and give the man a sate (seat), Can't you see it's Mr McGuire and he's courting you 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 McGuire sit down." Now the first time that I met her was at the dance at Tarmagee, And I asked her very kindly 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 came in at the door you could hear her mammy say: 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, Now whenever I come in at the door you'd here the auld one say: Last chorus: "Johnny, come up to the fire, come up you're sitting in a draft, Can't you see it's Mr McGuire, 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 Mr. McGuire the chair." 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 tear, Arragh, just sit where you are and never you dare to give Mr McGuire the chair."
