Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh I am a roving sporting blade, they call me Jack of all Trades
\nI always place my chief delight in courting pretty fair maids
\nSo when in Dublin I arrived to try for a situation
\nI always heard them say it was the pride of all the Nations<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nI’m a roving jack of all trades
\nOf every trade of all trades
\nAnd if you wish to know my name
\nThey call me Jack of all trades<\/p>\n

On George’s Quay I first began and there became a porter
\nMe and my master soon fell out which cut my acquaintance shorter
\nIn Sackville Street, a pastry cook; In James’ Street, a baker
\nIn Cook Street I did coffins make; In Eustace Street, a preacher<\/p>\n

In Baggot street I drove a cab and there was well requited
\nIn Francis Street had lodging beds, to entertain all strangers
\nFor Dublin is of high reknown, or I am much mistaken
\nIn Kevin Street, I do declare, sold butter, eggs and bacon<\/p>\n

In Golden Lane I sold old shoes: In Meath Street was a grinder
\nIn Barrack Street I lost my wife. I’m glad I ne’er could find her
\nIn Mary’s Lane, I’ve dyed old clothes, of which I’ve often boasted
\nIn that noted place Exchequer Street, sold mutton ready roasted<\/p>\n

In Temple Bar, I dressed old hats; In Thomas Street, a sawyer
\nIn Pill Lane, I sold the plate, in Green Street, an honest lawyer
\nIn Plunkett Street I sold cast clothes; in Bride’s Alley, a broker
\nIn Charles Street I had a shop, sold shovel, tongs and poker<\/p>\n

In College Green a banker was, and in Smithfield, a drover
\nIn Britain Street, a waiter and in George’s Street, a glover
\nOn Ormond Quay I sold old books; in King Street, a nailer
\nIn Townsend Street, a carpenter; and in Ringsend, a sailor<\/p>\n

In Cole’s Lane, a jobbing butcher; in Dane Street, a tailor
\nIn Moore Street a chandler and on the Coombe, a weaver
\nIn Church Street, I sold old ropes- on Redmond’s Hill a draper
\nIn Mary Street, sold ‘bacco pipes- in Bishop street a quaker<\/p>\n

In Peter Street, I was a quack: In Greek street, a grainer
\nOn the Harbour, I did carry sacks; In Werburgh Street, a glazier
\nIn Mud Island, was a dairy boy, where I became a scooper
\nIn Capel Street, a barber’s clerk; In Abbey Street, a cooper<\/p>\n

In Liffey street had furniture with fleas and bugs I sold it
\nAnd at the Bank a big placard I often stood to hold it
\nIn New Street I sold hay and straw, and in Spitalfields made bacon
\nIn Fishamble Street was at the grand old trade of basketmaking<\/p>\n

In Summerhill a coachmaker; in Denzille Street a gilder
\nIn Cork Street was a tanner, in Brunswick Street, a builder
\nIn High Street, I sold hosiery; In Patrick Street sold all blades
\nSo if you wish to know my name, they call me Jack of all Trades<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
