The Dubliners feat. Paddy Reilly - O'Connell's Steam Engine paroles de chanson

paroles de chanson O'Connell's Steam Engine - The Dubliners , Paddy Reilly



Oh people of heart I pray pay attention
Listen to what I'm about to relate
Concerning a couple I overheard talking
As I was returning late home from a wake
As I rode along sure I saw an old woman
Who sat in a gap, she was milking her cow
She was jigging that tune called
Make haste to the wedding
Or some other ditty I can't tell you now
Ah, the next came along, it was a bold tinker
Who happened by chance to be passing that way
The day being fine they sat down together
What news of that man, the old woman did say
There's no news at all mam, replied the bold tinker
But the people all wish that he never had been
He's a damnable rogue of a Daniel O'Connell
And he's now making babies in Dublin by steam
Ah, the children are ruined replied the old woman
Or has the quare fellow gone crazy at last
Or is it the sign of a war or rebellion
Or what is the reason he wants them so fast
It's not that at all mam replied the bold tinker
The children of Ireland are getting too small
It's O'Connell's petition to the new Lord Lieutenant
That he won't let us make them the old way at all
By this pipe in me mouth, replied the old woman
And that's a strong oath on me soul for to say
But I am an old woman and if I was near him
I bet you my life that he'd rue the day
For the people of Ireland they're very well known
They gave them their earnings when needing them bad
And now that he is recompensing them for it
By taking the only diversion they have
Ah light to your coach mam replied the bold tinker
Long may you live now with youth on your side
If all the young girls in Ireland were like you
O'Connell could throw his steam engine aside
If I had the young men of Ireland around me
And girls making babies as fast as they can
And whenever Her Majesty wanted an army
We'd be able to send her as many as Dan
