| lyric | There were three lovely lassies from Kimmage,
from Kimmage, from Kimmage
And whenever there's a bit of a scrimmage,
Sure Iwas the toughest of all, Ah ! sure I was the toughest of all.
Now the cause of the row was Joe Cashin, Joe Cashin, Joe Cashin,
- For he told me he thought I looked smashin'
At a dance in the Adelaide Hall, at a dance in the Adelaide Hall.
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 Ilove him in spite of it all.
Now the other two young ones was flippin’, they were flippin', they were flippin'
When they saw me and Joe and we trippin' >
To the strains of the Tennessee Waltz, to the strains of the Tennessee Waltz.
Now he told me he thought we should marry, should marry, should marry,
For he said it was foolish to tarry
So I lent him the price of the ring, Oh !I lent him the price of the ring.
Now my da says he'll give us a present, a present, a present,
An oul' stool and a lovely stuffed pheasant
And a picture to hang on the wall, and a picture to hang on the wall.
I went down to the Tenancy Section, the section, the section,
The T.D., just before the election
Said he'd get me a house near my ma, yes !he'd get me a house near my ma.
Well we're getting the house, the man said it, now he said it, he said it.
When I've five or six kids to my credit
In the meantime we'll live with my ma, in the meantime we'll live with my ma |
