Richie Kavanagh song lyrics
Here's a bunch of my favourite song lyrics [ some have chords ] from Ireland's funny man of song, Richie Kavanagh. The bold Richie was born in Carlow in 1949 and still lives there. It wasn't until the late Gerry Ryan who was a D.J. for R.T.E. started to play one of Richie's songs '' Aon Focal Eile'' that Richie's career took off, even though Richie had been preforming his own songs on stage around Ireland for years before. It goes to show the power of radio play. Aon Focal Eile was No.1 in Ireland for two months IN 95'

The ABC Song Lyrics By Richie
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Oh hi diddle diddle the cat done a piddle all over the kitchen floor
The little dog laughed to see such fun so the cat done a little bit more.
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Oh Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pale of water
Jill came down with a half a crown and it wasn't for carrying water,
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Oh Jack be nimble Jack be quick Jack jumped over the candle stick
Silly boy he should have jumped higher, goodness gratious big balls of fire.
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Oh Mary had a little Lamb her father shot it dead
Now she brings the Lamb to school between two bits of bread.
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Is the door open there lads ? cause this is the last one
This is the naughty one
Oh there was a young Nun called Vera who wouldn't let anyone near her
But a crafty old munk got into her bunk and now she's the mother superior

Goin' To A Wedding Lyrics
Twas a day in May a very fine day, there's going to be a wedding I hear them say
So we hit the Church without delay, and that was the start of a great old day.
In steps the groom and his brother too, they step up there to the very first pew
He hopes that she'll be here by two, oh he hopes that she'll be here by two.
There's a car outside I think it's the bride she's walking up the isle with her daddy at her side
And the groom's eyes they open so wide, and the grooms eyes they open so wide.
Twas a day in May a very fine day, there's going to be a wedding I hear them say
So we hit the Church without delay, and that was the start of a great old day.
Well the organist sings and the wedding begins it isn't very long 'till they have the two rings,
Gold and silver and all them things, gold and silver and all them things.
Well the time did come and they signed the book the priest he wished them luck
We're glad the hotel is booked, oh we're glad the hotel is booked.
Well they cut the cake and the speeches made the bride and the groom they're looking great
Twas a grand lump of turkey on me plate, twas a grand lump of turkey on me plate.
Well the band starts playing oh so loud, the bride and the groom they looked so proud,
As they danced around there through the crowd, as they danced around there through the croud.
Well the end of the day, sure it comes too soon, now you'll both go on your honeymoon
We hope to see you very soon, toor a loor a laddie oh, we hope you have a nice honeymoon.
Twas a day in May a very fine day, there's going to be a wedding I hear them say
So we hit the Church without delay, and that was the start of a great old day.
In steps the groom and his brother too, they step up there to the very first pew
He hopes that she'll be here by two, oh he hopes that she'll be here by two.
There's a car outside I think it's the bride she's walking up the isle with her daddy at her side
And the groom's eyes they open so wide, and the grooms eyes they open so wide.
Twas a day in May a very fine day, there's going to be a wedding I hear them say

The Water Meter Lyrics
Hay lad did ye get the water meter yet ? Chorus Now they put the water meter just outside our gate There's no point in complaining sure now it is too late To keep the water charges down there's one thing we can do Don't ever flush the toilet 'till we all go to the loo. If you want to save on water you'll have to be discrete Don't leave the tap a running when you brush your teeth Don't ever fill the kettle when your making tea And when you have a shower don't stay in there all day. Don't leave the tapa a running that's money down the drain If your old pipes are leaking, more Euros you'll be paying Believe or believe not a quare thing I'll tell you One third of all the water used is flushed down the loo Now they put the water meter just outside our gate There's no point in complaining sure now it is too late To keep the water charges down there's one thing we can do Don't ever flush the toilet 'till we all go to the loo. Here are the guitar chords

A Little Woman A Me Own
I am a small farmer living here on me own I wish I had a little woman of me own. Tom Cruse I wish I liked like you, But the way I am sure I'll have to do. I have a bed made out of an oak tree, It was made for two not just for me, I have yokes in my house since me mammy's time, There are quare yokes these yokes of mine. Chorus I am a small farmer living here on me own I wish I had a little woman of me own. Tom Cruse I wish I liked like you, But the way I am sure I'll have to do. Me hair is kind of turning grey, So I got a bottle of dye the other day, It was a kind of a sort of a mousey brown Be the gorra man I'm going to go to town Repeat Chorus. I went to a country and western dance, But the girls that were there didn't give me a chance, I me Morris Minor I headed on home, Woke up in the morning in the bed all alone. Repeat chorus.
