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

I am an old Navvy and I work on the line
\nAnd the last place I worked was New Castle-on-Thyme
\nI’ll tell me misfortune it happened in fun
\nIt happened one night I’d me navvy boots on<\/p>\n

One night after supper I shaved off my
\nTo meet me fair Ellen I was well prepared
\nTo meet me fair Ellen I then hurried down
\nAnd I met her that night with me navvy boots on<\/p>\n

Oh I knocked on her window my knock it was low
\nOh I knocked on her window my knock she did know
\nShe jumped out of bed saying, “Is that you John?”
\n“Oh, be Jasus it’s me with me navvy boots on.”<\/p>\n

She came to the door and invited me in
\nSaying, “Draw to the fire love and warm you skin.”
\nWell her bedroom was open and the blanket turned down
\nSo I jumped into bed with me navvy boots on<\/p>\n

Now all of that night we did sport and did play
\nNever thinking of time as it soon passed away
\nThen she jumped out of bed saying, “What have I done?”
\n“Oh, the baby will be born with his navvy boots on.”<\/p>\n

I chastised me loved one for talking so wild
\n“Ah, ya foolish young girl you’ll never have a child.”
\n“For all that I’ve done know ’twas only in fun.”
\nAh but I ran like hell with me navvy boots on<\/p>\n

And very soon after I was summoned to court
\nTo pay for me sins just like any man ought
\nI paid ten bob a week now for all of my fun
\nOh that I had that night with me navvy boots on<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
