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

I am the bravest tinker that lives beneath the sun
\nIf you have any work to do, you shall have it well done
\nYes indeed you shall, don’t you know you shall
\nTo my right falooral laddie, yes, indeed you shall<\/p>\n

The lady came to the door and asked me could I stop
\nAnd could I mend a rusty pan that never held a drop
\nYes indeed I can, don’t you know I can
\nTo my right falooral laddie, yes, indeed I can<\/p>\n

She took me up the stairs for to show me what to do
\nShe fell on the featherbed and I fell on it too
\nYes indeed I did, don’t you know I did
\nTo my right falooral laddie, yes, indeed I did<\/p>\n

I put my hammer in her hand that with it she might knock
\nTo make her husband to believe that I was at my work
\nYes indeed I was, don’t you know I was
\nTo my right falooral laddie, yes, indeed I was<\/p>\n

She put her hand into her purse and pulled out twenty pound
\nTake this me jolly tinker and we’ll have another round
\nYes indeed we will, don’t you know we will
\nTo my right falooral laddie, yes, indeed we will<\/p>\n

Oh, I plugged her in the kitchen, I plugged her in the hall
\nAnd the servants cried, The Devil, are you going to plug us all
\nOh indeed I’m not, don’t you know I’m not
\nTo my right falooral laddie, no, indeed I’m not<\/p>\n

Well, I’ve been a jolly tinker these thirty years and more
\nBut such a rusty pan as that I never plugged before
\nNo indeed I didn’t, don’t you know I didn’t
\nTo my right falooral laddie, no, indeed I didn’t<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
