Lyrics Reilly's Daughter - The Clancy Brothers
As
I
was
sitting
by
the
fire
Eating
spuds
and
drinking
porter
Suddenly
a
thought
came
into
my
mind
I'd
like
to
marry
old
Reilly's
daughter.
Giddy
i-ae
Giddy
i-ae
Giddy
i-ae
for
the
one-eyed
Reilly
Giddy
i-ae
(bang
bang
bang)
Play
it
on
your
old
bass
drum.
Reilly
played
on
the
big
bass
drum
Reilly
had
a
mind
for
murder
and
slaughter
Reilly
had
a
bright
red
glittering
eye
And
he
kept
that
eye
on
his
lovely
daughter.
Her
hair
was
black
and
her
eyes
were
blue
The
colonel
and
the
major
and
the
captain
sought
her
The
sergeant
and
the
private
and
the
drummer
boy
too
But
they
never
had
a
chance
with
Reilly's
daughter.
I
got
me
a
ring
and
a
parson
too
Got
me
a
scratch
in
a
married
quarter
Settled
me
down
to
a
peaceful
life
Happy
as
a
king
with
Reilly's
daughter.
Suddenly
a
footstep
on
the
stairs
Who
should
it
be
but
Reilly
out
for
slaughter
With
two
pistols
in
his
hands
Looking
for
the
man
who
had
married
his
daughter.
I
caught
old
Reilly
by
the
hair
Rammed
his
head
in
a
pail
of
water
Fired
his
pistols
into
the
air
A
damned
sight
quicker
than
I
married
his
daughter.
