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

I have travelled o’er this country, from shore to shining shore
\nFrae the swamps o’ Ochardarren tae the jungles o’ Loch Ore
\nBut in all these far flung places, there’s nane that can compare
\nWi’ my lily o’ Long Finnin, she’s my bonny Maggie Blair<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nOh she’s just a Kelty Cilppie, she’ll no take na advice
\nAnd it’s ach! Drop died or we’ll boil your heid and I’ll punch your ticket twice
\nHer Father’s just a waster, her Mother’s on the gain
\nShe’s just a Kelty Cilppie and I love her just the same<\/p>\n

Well I met her on the eight-fifteen that night o’ romantic bliss
\nSays I, “Hey, Mag, put doon your fag and gi’e us a wee bit kiss.”
\nNoo she didna tak’ this kindly, she didna like my chaff
\nAnd being a contrary kind of lass, she said, “Come on, get off!”<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Frae the pyramids up at Kelty, tae the mansions of Glenn Craig
\nWe’ve trod the banks together and many of life’s travails
\nSeen the moonlight over Crosshill, trod Buckhiem’s golden sands
\nAnd many a happy hoor we spent in Loch Gelly’s happy land<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Now she has na got na culture, she drives me roond the bend
\nShe sits at night in her old arm chair, reading the people’s friend
\nHer lapel is full of badges, fray bodlens doon her ears
\nAnd she gangs tae the bingo every night with the curlers still in her hair<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Ah, but things are a wee bit better now, I’ve gone and I’ve got the ring
\nI won it frae Robin at the pitch and toss last night at the Lindsay Bing
\nWi’ her wee black bag and her ticket machine, she did my heart ensare
\nShe’s my lily o’ Long Finnin, she’s my bonny Maggie Blair<\/p>\n
