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

Me name is Jackie Stephenson this name I do advance
\nI own a little Galloway and I call her little Chance
\nNow Chance she has three greasy legs likewise a kittlely back
\nAnd gangin’ along the gangin’ plank kick you can hear the tune man’s knack<\/p>\n

I was comin’ round the turn titty fa la titty fa lay
\nAnd she wouldn’t move on titty fa la titty fa lay
\nThe tugs they made a click I got out of the way so quick
\nYou buggers you broke the deputy’s cest titty fa la titty fa lay
\nOh la la la la over the wall’s out<\/p>\n

Well I knew a Gatesed lassie once her age was thirty four
\nShe hadn’t been with a man and so her heart was very sore
\nOne night as she was goin’ to bed she thought she heard a sound
\nAnd when she look beneath the bed a burglar there she found<\/p>\n

She didn’t faint nor scream titty fa la titty fa lay
\nShe didn’t shout nor roar titty fa la titty fa lay
\nWhen she saw it was a man begod she cried hooray
\nShe got up and locked the door titty fa la titty fa lay<\/p>\n

Oh me self and the wife and the mother in-law went down by the slivery sea
\nThe mother in-law got into a boat a sailor she would be
\nShe hadn’t past about thirty yards when suddenly there’s a sound
\nAnd when I looked beneath me shoulder there she was flapping about<\/p>\n

Sez she I cannot swim titty fa la titty fa lay
\nSez I now’s your chance to learn titty fa la titty fa lay
\nThe wife she said you hound would you sit and watch her drowned
\nSez I no I’ll close me eyes titty fa la titty fa lay
\nOh la la la la over the wall’s out<\/p>\n

Well the other I took a walk down the slivery shore
\nI saw O’Grady’s daughter standing by the door
\nShe dragged me in for a cup of tea cause she was all alone
\nAnd when the tea was finished she said will I come again<\/p>\n

I rub me hand along her thigh titty fa la titty fa lay
\nCause I’m the boy to try titty fa la titty fa lay
\nShe’s very found of me she loves to sit me on her knee
\nAnd I’m a bugger for tea titty fa la titty fa lay
\nOh la la la la over the wall’s out<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
