Mrs. McGrath

歌詞

Mrs. McGrath the sergeant said Would you like a soldier out of your son Ted With a scarlet coat and a big cocked hat Mrs. McGrath will you like that With your too ria fol deddle diaa too ria With your too ria fol deddle diaa too ria Now Mrs. McGrath lived on the shore And after seven years or more She spied a ship come into the bay With her son from far away Oh captain dear where have ye been You been sailing the Mediterranean Have you news of my son Ted Is he living or is he dead With your too ria fol deddle diaa too ria With your too ria fol deddle diaa too ria Then came Ted without any legs And in their place two wooden pegs She kissed him a dozen times or two And said my God Ted is it you Now were ye drunk or were ye blind When ye left your two fine legs behind Or was it walking upon the sea That wore your two fine legs away With your too ria fol deddle diaa too ria With your too ria fol deddle diaa too ria With your too ria fol deddle diaa too ria With your too ria fol deddle diaa too ria Now I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind When I left my two fine legs behind A cannonball on the fifth of May Tore my two fine legs away My Teddy boy the widow cried Your two fine legs were yer mother's pride Stumps of a tree won't do at all Why didn't ye run from the cannonball With your too ria fol deddle diaa too ria With your too ria fol deddle diaa too ria With your too ria fol deddle diaa too ria With your too ria fol deddle diaa too ria All foreign wars I do proclaim Live on blood an a mothers pain I'd rather have my son as he used to be Than the King of America and his whole Navy With your too ria fol deddle diaa too ria With your too ria fol deddle diaa too ria With your too ria fol deddle diaa too ria With your too ria fol deddle diaa too ria With your too ria fol deddle diaa too ria With your too ria fol deddle diaa too ria hey
