There[D] were three lovely lasses from Kimmage
From[A7] Kimmage,from[D] Kimmage
And[D] when ever theres a bit of a scrimmage
Sure[G] I was the[A7] toughest of[D] all
[G]Sure[D] I was the[A7] toughest of[D] all
[2]
Now the cause of the row was Joe Cashin
Joe Cashin,Joe Cashin
For he told me he tought I looked smashing
At a dance in the Adelaide hall
At a dance in the Adelaide hall
[3]
When he gets a few jars he goes frantic
Oh frantic,oh frantic
But he's tall and he's dark and romantic
And I love him in spite of it all
And I love him in spite of it all
[4]
Now the other two young ones were flippin
Were flippin,were flippin
When they saw me and Joe and me trippin
To the strains of the Tennessee waltz
To the strains of the Tennessee waltz
[5]
Now he told me he thought we should marry
Should marry,should marry
For he said I was foolish to tarry
So I lent him the price of the ring
So I lent him the price of the ring
[6]
Now me da said he'll give us a present
A present,a present
An oul'stool and a lovely stuffed pheasand
And a picture to hang on the wall
And a picture to hang on the wall
[7]
I went down to the tenancy section
The section,the section
The T.D. before the election
Said he'd get me a house near me ma
Said he'd get me a house near me ma
[8]
Well we're getting the house the man said
He said it,he said it
When I've five or six kids to me credit
In the meantime we'll live with me ma
In the meantime we'll live with me ma.
