[C]I've a nice little cot and a[F] small bit of land
In a [G7]place by the side of the [C]sea
[C]And I care about no one be[F]cause I believe
There's [G7]no body cares about [C]me
My [G7]peace is destroyed and I'm [C]fairly annoyed
By a [D]lassie who [D7]works in the[G] town
She[C] sighs every day as she [F]passes the way
Do you[G7] want your old lobby washed [C]down
Chorus:
[C]Do you want your old lobby washed[F] down, conshine
Do you [G7]want your old lobby washed [C]down
She sighs every day as she[F] passes the way:
"Do you [G7]want your old lobby washed [C]down
The other day the old landlord came by for his rent
I told him no money I had
Beside t'wasn't fair for to ask me to pay
The times were so awfully bad
He felt discontent at no getting his rent
And he shook his be head in a frown
Says he: "I'll take half", and says I with a laugh
Do you want your old lobby washed down
Do you want your old lobby washed down, conshine
Do you want your old lobby washed down
Says he "I'll take half", and says I with a laugh
Do you want your old lobby washed down
Now the boys look so bashful when they go out courtin'
They seem to look so very shy
As to kiss a young maid, sure they seem half afraid
But they would if they could on the sly
But me, I do things in a different way
I don't give a nod or a frown
When I goes to court, I says "Here goes for sport
Do you want your old lobby washed down
Do you want your old lobby washed down, conshine
Do you want your old lobby washed down
When I goes to court, I says "Here goes for sport
Do you want your old lobby washed down, conshine
In a [G7]place by the side of the [C]sea
[C]And I care about no one be[F]cause I believe
There's [G7]no body cares about [C]me
My [G7]peace is destroyed and I'm [C]fairly annoyed
By a [D]lassie who [D7]works in the[G] town
She[C] sighs every day as she [F]passes the way
Do you[G7] want your old lobby washed [C]down
Chorus:
[C]Do you want your old lobby washed[F] down, conshine
Do you [G7]want your old lobby washed [C]down
She sighs every day as she[F] passes the way:
"Do you [G7]want your old lobby washed [C]down
The other day the old landlord came by for his rent
I told him no money I had
Beside t'wasn't fair for to ask me to pay

Do you want your old lobby washed down, conshine
Do you want your old lobby washed down

Do you want your old lobby washed down, conshine
Do you want your old lobby washed down
When I goes to court, I says "Here goes for sport

If You Ever Go over to Ireland lyrics by Brendan Shine
If you ever go over to Ireland just take a tip from me
Just close your mouth and open your eyes and don't you make so free
You'll find the cailíns over there, their not so free at all
Sure one of them made a fool of me way down in Donegal.
There I took her under me arm we went walking down the lane
She said now don't get funny for if you do I'll scream
You've lost your Irish manners you have no shame at all
And your Yankee ''''' doesn't mean a thing to the girls in Donegal
I then went over to Galway to the town of Oranmore
There I met a lassis Mary ''''''
She said you are a stranger I never saw you before
And we don't like handsome hobo's in the town of Oranmore
Then I took her under me arms we went walking down the lane
She said now don't get funny for if you do I'll scream
I gave her a wink what do you think ''''
She streached me coat and she toar me coat in the town of Oranmore
I then went over to Dublin to that city of great fame
Walking down O'Connell Street I met a fondly dame
She said hello there Yankee I'd like to show you around
As you're far from home you'll feel at home in dear old Dublin Town.
Well I took her under me arms we went walking down te street
She said I'm awful hungary when are we going to eat
I brought her into Cleary's a cafe of renown
And upon me Soul she stoll me roll in dear old Dublin Town.
If you ever go over to Ireland just take a tip from me
Just close your mouth and open your eyes and don't you make so free
You'll find the cailíns over there, their not so free at all
Sure one of them made a fool of me way down in Donegal.
There I took her under me arm we went walking down the lane
