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

As I went a-walking in the North country,
\nDown by Kirby Steven I happened for to be,
\nAs I was a-walkin up and down the street,
\nA pretty little buy-a-broom I chanced for to meet.<\/p>\n

For she was right, I was tight, everybody has their way,
\nIt was the lish young buy-a-broom that led me astray.<\/p>\n

She kindly then invited me to go a little way,
\nYes was the answer to her I did say,
\nThere was; me with my music walkin down the street,
\nAnd her with a tamborine was beatin hand and feet.<\/p>\n

Straight way out for Kendal town we steered her and I’
\nOver yon green mountain the weather being dry,
\nWe each had a bottle filled up to the top
\nAnd whenever we were feeling dry we took a little drop.<\/p>\n

The night wa coming on and good lodgings we did find,
\nEatables of all kind and plenty of good wine,
\nGood bed and blankets just for we two,
\nAnd I rolled her in me arms me boys, and wouldn’t you do too?<\/p>\n

Early the next morning we arose to go our way,
\nI called for the landlord to see what was to pay,
\nFourteen an sixpence just for you two,
\nFour crowns upon the table my darling then she threw.<\/p>\n

Well the reason that we parted I now shall let you hear,
\nShe started off for Germany right early the next year,
\nBut me being unwilling for to cross the raging sea,
\nHere’s a health to my bonny lass wherever she may be.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
