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

As I was sitting by the fire
\nTalking to O’Reilly’s daughter
\nSuddenly a thought came into my head
\nI’d like to marry O’Reilly’s daughter<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nGiddy-i-ay, giddy-i-ay, giddy-i-ay
\nFor the one eyed Reilly Giddy-i-ay (*clap *clap *clap)
\nBang it on yer oul’ bass drum<\/p>\n

Reilly played on the big bass drum
\nReilly had a mind for murder and slaughter
\nReilly had a bright red glittering eye
\nAnd he kept that eye on his lovely daughter<\/p>\n

Her hair was black and her eyes were blue
\nThe colonel & the major & the captain sought her
\nThe sergeant & the private & the drummer boy too
\nBut they never had a chance with Reilly’s daughter<\/p>\n

I got me a ring & parson too
\nGot me a scratch in a married quarter
\nSettled me down to a peaceful life
\nHappy as a king with Reilly’s daughter<\/p>\n

Suddenly a foot step on the stair
\nWho whould it be but Reilly out for slaughter
\nWith two pistols in his hands
\nLooking for the man who had married his daughter<\/p>\n

I caught Old Reilly by the hair
\nRammed his head in a pail of water
\nFired his pistols in the air
\nA damned sight quicker than I married his daughter<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
