lyricI've a nice little cot and a small bit of land
and a place by the side of the sea.
And I care about noone, because I believe
there’s nobody cares about me.
My opeace is destroyed and
I’m fairly annoyed,
by a lassie who works in the town.
She sights ev’ry day as she passes the way:
’Do you want your old lobby wasehd down?’

Chorus:
’Do you want your old lobby washed down, Con Shine,
Do you want your old lobby washed down?’
She sights ev’ry day as she passes the way:
’Do you want your old lobby washed down?’

The other day the old landlord came by for his rent
I told him no money I had,
Besides ’twasn’t fair to ask me to pay,
The times were so awfully bad.
He felt discontent at not getting his rent,
And he shook his big head in afrown,
Says he ‘I’ll take half’. ‘But’, says I with alaugh
‘Do you want your old lobby washed down?’
CHORUS
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 afrown.
When I goes to court I says ‘Here goes for sport,
Do you want your old lobby washed down?’
