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

For as I gaed doon the Overgate I met a bonny wee lass
\nFor she winked tae me with the tail o’her e’e as I went walking past
\nRicky doo dum day, doo dum day, ricky ricky doo dum day<\/p>\n

I asked her what her name might be, she said: “Jemima Rose
\nAnd I live in Blaeberry Lane at the foot o’the Buchan Close.”
\nRicky doo dum day, doo dum day, ricky ricky doo dum day<\/p>\n

I asked her what was her landlady’s name, she said it was Mrs. Bruce
\nAnd with that she invited me to come awa’ to the hoose
\nRicky doo dum day, doo dum day, ricky ricky doo dum day<\/p>\n

As we went up the windin’ stair, them bein’long and dark
\nFor I slipped my money from my inside pooch and I tied it to the tail o’ my sark
\nRicky doo dum day, doo dum day, ricky ricky doo dum day<\/p>\n

We scarcely had got in the hoose when she took me tae a room
\nIt was there we pulled a bottle oot, and then we baith sat down
\nRicky doo dum day, doo dum day, ricky ricky doo dum day<\/p>\n

But a’ nicht long I dreamed I was lying in the airms o’ Jemima Rose
\nBut when I wokened I was lying on my back at the foot o’ the Buchan Close
\nRicky doo dum day, doo dum day, ricky ricky doo dum day<\/p>\n

Come a’ ye jolly ploo men lads that gang oot for a walk
\nJust slip your money frae your inside pooch and tie it to the tail o’ your sark.
\nRicky doo dum day, doo dum day, ricky ricky doo dum day<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
