Mick McGuire - Bodh'aktan

Oh, me name is Mick McGuire and I’ll quickly tell to you

Of a girl that I admired, she was Katy Donahue

Ah, she’s fair and fat and forty and believe me when I say

Whenever I came through the door I could hear her mother say

«Johnny, get up from the fire, get up and give your man a sate

Can’t you see it’s Mick McGuire and he’s courting your sister Kate

You know very well he owns a farm a wee bit out of the town

Arragh, get out of that, you impudent brat and let the Mac sit down»

Well, the first time that I met her was a dance at Donaghadee

When I very quietly asked her if she’d dance a step for me

I asked if I could take her home for she’d be on me way

Whenever I came through the door I could hear her mother say

«Johnny, get up from the fire, get up and give your man a sate

Can’t you see it’s Mick McGuire and he’s courting your sister Kate

You know very well he owns a farm a wee bit out of the town

Arragh, get out of that, you impudent brat and let the Mac sit down»

And now that we are married, her mother changed her mind

All because I spent the money her father left behind

She hasn’t got the decency to give me time of day

Whenever I came through the door I could hear her mother say

«Johnny, come up to the fire, come up, you’re sitting in the draft

Can’t you see it’s old McGuire and he nearly drives me daft

Sure I don’t know what gets in him, and he’s always on the tare

So sit where you are and never you dare, give old McGuire the chair»

«Sure I don’t know what gets in him when he’s always on the tare

So sit where you are and never you dare, give old McGuire the chair»

«Sure I don’t know what gets in him when he’s always on the tare

So sit where you are and never you dare, give old McGuire the chair»
