Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
Wi’ my hand on my heart and my heart in my mooth
Wi’ arms that could reach ower the sea
My feet micht be big but the insects are safe
They’ll never get stood on by me
Hermless, hermless there’s never nae bother fae me
I gang tae the libry, I tak oot a book
And then I go hame for my tea
I save a’ the coupons that come wi’ the soup
And when I have saved fifty-three
I send awa’ fifty, pit three in the drar
And something gets posted tae me
Hermless, hermless there’s never nae bother fae me
I dae whit I’m telt and I tidy my room
And then I come doon for my tea
There’s ane or twa lads wha’ I could ca’ my chums
They’re canny and meek as can be
There’s Tam wi’ his pigeons And Wull wi’his mice
And Robert McLennan and me
Hermless, hermless there’s never nae bother fae me
Naebody’d notice that I wasnae there
If I didnae come hame for my tea
