PUB SING 2008

She Moved Through The Fair

My young love said to me my mother won't mind
And me father won't slight you for your lack of kind
And she laid her hand on me and this she did say
It will not be long now 'til our wedding Day
She went away from me and she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her move here and move there
And then she went onward, just one star awake
Like the swan in the evening moves over the lake
People were saying no two e'er were wed
But one had a sorrow that never was said
And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear
And that was the last that I saw of my dear
Last night she came to me, my dear love came in
So softly she came her feet made no din
And she laid her hand on me and this she did say
It will not be long now 'til our wedding day

Bottle Of Rum

Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil be done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

The mate was fixed by the bos’n’s pike
The bos’n’ brained with a marlin spike and
Cookey’s throat was marked belike It
Had been gripped by fingers ten and
There they lay all good dead men like
Break o’ day in a boozing ken__
Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum

Fifteen men of a whole ship’s list
Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum
Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
The skipper lay with his nob in gore where the
Scullion’s axe his cheek had shore
And the scullion he was stabbed times four and
There he lay and the soggy skies
Dripped all day in up-staring eyes at
Murk sunset and at foul sur-prise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

Fifteen men of ‘em stiff and stark
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Ten of the crew had the murder mark
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
‘Twas a cutlass swipe or and ounce of lead or a
Yawning hole in a battered head
and the scuppers glut with a yawning red and
There they lay aye damn my eyes
All lookouts clapped on par - a - dise all
Souls bound just con – tra – ri - wise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

Fifteen men of ‘em good and true
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Every man Jack could ha’ sailed with old Pew
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
There was chest on chest of Spanish gold with a
Ton of plate in the middle hold
And the cabins riot with stuff un told As
They lay there that had took the plum
With a sightless glare and their lips struck dumb
While we shared all by the rule of thumb
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

Fifteen men of a dead man’s chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
We wrapped ‘em all in a mains’l tight with
Twice ten turns of a hausers bight
And we heaved ‘em over and out of sight with a
Yo heave ho and fare you well
And a sullen plunge in a sullen swell
Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

The Mermaid

Twas Friday morn when we set sail
And we were not far from the land
When the captain, he spied a lovely mermaid
With a comb and a glass in her hand

Chorus
O the ocean's waves will roll
And the stormy winds will blow
While we poor sailors go skipping to the top
And the landlubbers lie down below (below, below)
And the landlubbers lie down below

And up spoke the captain of our gallant ship
And a well-spoken man was he
I have me a wife in Salem by the sea
And tonight she a widow will be

Chorus

And up spoke the cookie of our gallant ship
And a red hot cookie was he
Saying I care much more for my pots and my pans
Than I do for the bottom of the sea

Chorus

Then up spoke the cabinboy, of our gallant ship
And a nasty little lad was he.
I'm not quite sure I can spell "mermaid"
But I'm going to the bottom of the sea.

Chorus

Then three times around went our gallant ship
And three times around went she
Three times around went our gallant ship
And she sank to the bottom of the sea

Chorus

Paddy Lay Back

'Twas a cold and wintry morning one December (December)
Allof me money, it was spent (spent, spent)
Where to it went I can't remember (remember)
So down to the shipping office I went (went, went)

Chorus
Paddy lay back (Paddy lay back)
Take in the slack (take in the slack)
Take a turn around the capstan, heave a pawl! (heave a pawl)
About the ship's stations, boys, be handy. (We're handy)
We're bound for the Valparaiso 'round the Horn!

Well it was on the quarterdeck where when first saw 'em. (saw 'em)
Such an ugly lot you never did see before (see before)
There’s a bum and stiff in every quarter (Quarter)
An' it made me poor ol' heart feel sick and sore (Sick and sore)

Chorus

Now there were Spaniards an' Rooshians, an’ Dutchmen (Dutchmen)
An' Johnny Crapoos was just across from France (France, France)
Not a man of them spoke a word of English (English)
They answered to the name of `Month's Advance!' ('Month's Advance!')

Chorus

Now some of the fellers had been drinkin', (drinkin')
An' I meself was heavy on the booze. (booze booze)
So I sat upon me ol' sea-chest a' thinkin' (a' thinkin')
That I'm goin’ to me bunk an' have a snooze. (have a snooze.)

Chorus

So I asked the mate a-which a-watch was mine-O (mine-O)
He says you'll soon find out which is which (which is which)
Then he beat me down an' kicked me hard a stern-O (a stern-O)
And called me a dirty lousy son of a fish (son of a fish)

Chorus

Well they called us up on deck to reef the top sails (the top sails)
Belayin’ pins were flying around the deck (around the deck)
And the cook was stealing brandy from the captain (the captain)
And I know I’ll never make it on this wreck (on this wreck)

Chorus

Jolly Rovin' Tar
(aka Get up Jack! John Sit Down)

Ships may come and ships may go
As long as the sea does roll
Each sailor lad just like his dad
He loves the flowing bowl
A trip ashore he does adore
With a girl who's nice and round
When the money's all gone
It's the same old song
Get up Jack John sit down

Chorus
Come along, come along, You jolly brave boys,
There's lots of grog in the jar
We'll plough the briny ocean
With the jolly roving tar

When Jack comes in, it's then he'll steer
To some old boarding house
They'll welcome him with run and gin,
And feed him on pork scouse
He'll lend and spend and not offend
Till he lies drunk on the ground
When the money's all gone
It's the same old song
Get up Jack John sit down

Chorus

It's then he'll sail aboard some ship
For India or Japan
In Asia there, the ladies fair
All love the sailor man.
He'll go ashore, out on a tear
And he'll buy some girl a gown.
When the money's all gone
It's the same old song
Get up Jack John sit down

Chorus

When Jack gets old and weatherbeat,
Too old to roam about,
In some rum shop, they'll let him stop
Till eight bells calls him out.
He'll raise his eyes up to the skies,
Sayin' “Boys, we're homeward bound.”
When the money's all gone
It's the same old song
Get up Jack John sit down

Chorus X2

All For Me Grog

Chorus
Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog
All for me beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin
Far across the western ocean I must wander

Where are me boots, me noggin', noggin' boots?
All gone for beer and tobacco
For the soles are worn out and the heels are kicked about
And the toes are looking out for better weather

Chorus

Where is me shirt, my noggin', noggin' shirt?
It's all gone for beer and tobacco
For the collar is all worn, and the sleeves are ripped and torn
And the tail is looking out for better weather

Chorus

There’s a pain in me head and I haven't been to bed
Since first I come ashore with me plunder
I’ve seen centipedes and snakes
and I’m filled with pains and aches
Far across the Western Ocean I must wander

Chorus X 2

Johnny Jump Up

I’ll tell you a story that happened to me
One day as I went down to Cork by the sea
The sun it was hot and the day it was warm
Says I a quiet pint wouldn’t do me no harm

I went in and I called for a bottle of stout
Says the barman, I’m sorry all the beer is sold out
Try whiskey or paddy, ten years in the wood
Says I, I’ll try cider, I’ve heard it was good.

Chorus

Oh never, Oh never, Oh never again
If I live to be a hundred or a hundred and ten
I fell to the ground and I couldn’t get up
After drinking a quart of the Johnny Jump Up

After downing the third I went out to the yard
Where I bumped into Brody, the big yeoman guard
Come here to me boy, don’t you know I’m the law?
Well, I up with me fist and I shattered his jaw

He fell to the ground with his knees doubled up
But it wasn’t I hit him. ‘twas Johnny Jump Up
The next thing I remember down in Cork by the sea
Was me taking a swig of that cider so sweet.

Chorus

I went out to Lee Road, a friend for to see
They call it the madhouse in Cork by the sea
But when I got there, sure the truth I will tell
They had this poor bugger locked up in a cell

Said the guard said to him, say these works if you can
Around the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran
Tell him I’m not crazy, tell him I’m not mad
It was only a sip of the bottle I had

Chorus

Well... There once was a Sheriff by the name of McNabb
They dressed him and laid him outside on the slab
And after the parlours measurements did take
His wife brought him home to a bloody fine wake

Twas about 12 and the beer was so high
The corpse sits up and says with a sigh
I can’t get to heaven, they won’t let me up
Till I bring them a quart of that Johnny Jump Up

Chorus

So if ever you go down to Cork by the sea
Stay out of the ale house and take it from me
If you want to stay sane don’t dare take a sup
Of that devil drink called Johnny Jump Up

Chorus

Health To The Company

Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme
Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine
Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may and might never all meet here again

Chorus
Here's a health to the company and one to my lass
Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass
Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may and might never all meet here again

Here's a health to the wee lass that I love so well
Her style and her beauty, sure none can excel
There's a smile on her countenance as she sits on my knee
Sure there's no one in in this wide world as happy as me

Chorus

Our ship lies at harbour, it's ready to dock
I hope it safe landing without any shock
And if ever we should meet you by land or by sea
I will always remember your kindness to me

Chorus X2

Flowing Bowl

Chorus
Landlord fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over,
Landlord fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over.

For tonight we’ll merry merry be,.. tomorrow we'll be sober.

Here's to the man who drinks water pure and goes to bed quite sober,

Chorus

Loch Lomond

The Leprechaun

There's a Leprechaun in me head, and I wish that I were dead
For I don't think he'll e'er let me be.
Oh, he tempts me with his gold, and if I were e'er so bold,
I'd strangle him and leave him in the street.

Chorus
Well, he says to me, "Ah, you're no Irish Lassie!
And ye call that thing a harp?"
But each time I share the lore that I am learning.
He hides in shame while my friends they chant.
La ta tee, da diddley dee, la ta tee ta tee da
La ta tee, da diddley diddley dai
La ta tee, da diddley dee, la ta tee ta tee da
La ta tee, da diddley diddley dai

There's a leprechaun in my room. He swats me with a broom.
That's the reason I forget the words of this song.
Well, he shows me a four-leaf clover, and before me song is over,
It's buried in a bowl of Lucky Charms.

Chorus

Ther'es a leprechaun on the floor, and he says that I'm a bore.
He yawns aloud as I sing my song.
He feigns one last breathe stolen, but I see his eyes are open.
And he's watching me with envy deep inside.

Chorus

There's a leprechaun on a hill, and his gold is buried there.
So I grab him by the neck 'fore he gets away.
The pot's too heavy, he giggles, so I pinch me just a little,
And he thinks he's fooled me as I run away.

Chorus

Well, he says to me, "Ah, you're no Irish Lassie!
And ye call that thing a harp?"
But each time I share the lore that I am learning.
He lifts his head and then sings along.
La ta tee, da diddley dee, la ta tee ta tee da
La ta tee, da diddley diddley dai
La ta tee, da diddley dee, la ta tee ta tee da
La ta tee, da diddley diddley dai

La ta tee, da diddley dee, la ta tee ta tee da
La ta tee, da diddley diddley dai
La ta tee, da diddley dee, la ta tee ta tee da
La ta tee, da diddley diddley dai

Wild Rover

Well I've been a wild rover for many a year
And I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more

Chorus
And it's No, Nay, never (clap, clap, clap)
No, nay never no more (clap, clap)
Will I play the wild rover (clap)
No nay never no more

I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay
Such a customer like yours I can have any day

Chorus

Well I pulled from me pocket, ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said "I have whiskeys and wines of the best
I’ll take you up stairs and show you the rest.

Chorus

Well I'll go to me parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And if they'll caress me as oft times before
And I never will play the wild rover no more

Chorus X2

Old Dun Cow

Some friends and I in a public house
Was playing a game of chance one night
When into the pub a fireman ran
His face all a chalky white.
"What's up", says Brown, "Have you seen a ghost,
Or have you seen your Aunt Mariah?"
"Me Aunt Mariah be buggered!", says he,
"The bleedin' pub's on fire!"

Chorus
And there was Brown upside down
Lappin'' up the whiskey on the floor.
"Booze, booze!" The firemen cried
As they came knockin' on the door(clap clap or knock knock)
Oh don't let 'em in till it's all drunk up
And somebody shouted MacIntyre! (MACINTYRE!)
And we all got blue-blind paralytic drunk
When the Old Dun Cow caught fire.

"Oh well," says Brown, "What a bit of luck.
Everybody follow me.
And it's down to the cellar
If the fire's not there
Then we'll have a grand old spree."
So we went on down after good old Brown
The booze we could not miss
And we hadn't been there ten minutes or more
Till we were quite pissed.

Chorus

Then, Smith walked over to the port wine tub
And gave it just a few hard knocks
Started takin' off his pantaloons
Likewise his shoes and socks.
"Hold on, " says Brown, "that ain't allowed
Ya cannot do that thing here.
Don't go washin' trousers in the port wine tub
When we got Guinness beer."

Chorus

Then there came from the old back door
The Vicar of the local church.
And when he saw our drunken ways,
He began to scream and curse.
"Ah, you drunken sods! You heathen clods!
You've taken to a drunken spree!
You drank up all the Benedictine wine
And you didn't save a drop for me!"

Chorus

And then there came a mighty crash
Half the bloody roof caved in.
We were almost drowned in the firemen's hose
But still we were gonna stay.
So we got some tacks and some old wet sacks
And we nailed ourselves inside
And we sat drinking the finest Rum
Till we were bleary-eyed.

Chorus

Later that night, when the fire was out
We came up from the cellar below.
Our pub was burned. Our booze was drunk.
Our heads was hanging low.
"Oh look", says Brown with a look quite queer.
Seems something raised his ire.
"Now we gotta get down to Murphy's Pub,
It closes on the hour!"

Chorus

Pleasant Peasant Pheasant

There was a pleasant peasant who was living a pleasant life,
Grunting while she hunted for a pheasant to take to knife.
She nightly sharpened up her knife for this tasty endeavor.
And every eve, she fumbled home without pheasant cadaver.
Fi fiddle-li-dee
Sh-dee sh-dum
Fiddle-li-de she-die
One evening while a-wondering alone in empty woods,
She saw a pheasant passing in the brush near where she stood.
She stumbled over stunted stump. The pheasant watched with laughter
As this former pleasant peasant passed out in the pasture.
Fi fiddle-li-dee
Sh-dee sh-dum
Fiddle-li-de she-die
Unpleasantly the peasant 'rose later with depression,
Lying in a puddle o'mud with a dazed expression.
The pheasant stood there staring at the most unpleasant peasant
When a thought occurred to her that the peasant brought a present.
Fi fiddle-li-dee
Sh-dee sh-dum
Fiddle-li-de she-die
The peasant saw the pheasant 'proach, pleased with this decision,
The peasant's knife flew for the life of pheasant with precision.
The pheasant sounded like a fife and caught the knife in beak.
While the panicked peasant picked a passage, ran away, and shrieked.
Fi fiddle-li-dee
Sh-dee sh-dum
Fiddle-li-de she-die
The peasant stumbled over something that filled her cheeks with life.
She fumbled over the pheasant beheaded by her knife.
Now with a pleasant smile, the plucky peasant fumbled home
To pluck the pheasant with the present the unpleasant pheasant stole.
Fi fiddle-li-dee
Sh-dee sh-dum
Fiddle-li-de she-dieThe peasant plucked the feathers and placed them in a pillow.
Remembering the pheasant's face she freed a wicked giggle
To the pleasant peasant, pheasant plucking's a very precious present
(Til) She cooked the bird, choked on a bone, and died a death unpleasant.
Fi fiddle-li-dee
Sh-dee sh-dum
Fiddle-li-de, she died!

Whiskey

Bring me some whiskey, mother
I'm feeling frisky, mother
Bring me a sheep for I am lonely tonight
I need a lover, mother
No, not my brother, mother
I need a sheep to keep me warm through the night

Sheep never talk about it
They never ever doubt it
Always so placid, affectionate and nice
Bring me that lanolin
Better than flannel-in

I need a sheep to keep me warm through the night
Owls, bats and other critters
Just seem to give me jitters
I need a sheep to keep me warm through the night
Gerbils don't make it, mother
They just can't take it, mother
I need a sheep to keep me warm through the night

Call out the Glasgow bobbies
We'll teach them brand new hobbies
I need a sheep to keep me warm through the night
Bring me a sheep, dear mother
Slip it beneath the covers
England may rule the seas, but Scotland's depraved

Some think a swine is fine
And some like a horse of course but
Those in the know, know that sheep are the best
Their fleece is soft and white
They keep you warm at night
I need a sheep to keep me warm through the night

Caviar (Virgin Sturgeon)

Chorus
Caviar comes from virgin sturgeon
Virgin sturgeon's a mighty fine fish
No good sturgeon wants be a virgin
That's why caviar is a very rare dish!

Shad roe comes from scarlet shad fish
Shad fish have a very sad fate
Pregnant shad fish is a sad fish
Got that way without a mate!

Chorus

I fed caviar to my grandma
She was nearly ninety-three
Shouts and screams were heard from grandpa
As she chased him up a tree!

Chorus

I fed caviar to the rooster
I fed caviar to the cow,
Now the barnyard sure looks funny:
All the cows have feathers now!

Chorus

I put caviar in the punchbowl,
That livened up the party, sure.
What am l doing stripped down naked ?
Thought these boys were sweet and pure.

Chorus

Give a thought to the happy codfish
Always there when duty calls,
Female cod fish is an odd fish
From her come your cod fish balls!

Chorus

The green sea-turtle's mate is happy
With her lover's winning ways
First he grips her with his flipper
Then they flip for days and days!

Chorus

I fed caviar to my sweetheart,
He always did it cheerfully.
Now he does it with a vengeance,
Oh, my God, it's killing me.

Chorus

The oyster is a prolific bivalve
Keeps its' innards in its' shell,
How they diddle is a riddle,
But they do, so what the hell!

Chorus X2

Pump Away

Chorus
Put your shoulder next to mine and pump away
Pump away
Put your shoulder next to mine and pump away.
Pump away
Put your shoulder next to mine and we’ll have a real good time
Put your shoulder next to mine and pump away

Well I gave him favours one, favours one
favours one

The Parting Glass

Of all the money that e'er I had, I spent it in good company
And of all the harm that e'er I've done, alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit to memory now I can not recall
So fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all

Of all the fellows e'er I've had, they are sorry for my going away
And of all the sweethearts e'er I've had, they would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot that I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call good night and joy be with you all

If I had coins enough to spend and leisure time to sit awhile
There is a fair maid in this town, that sorely has my heart beguiled
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips, she alone has my heart enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all

If I had money for to spend, I'd spend it in your company
And all the harm that I have done, I hope it's pardoned I will be
And all I've done for want of it to memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all
But since it falls unto my lot that I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call good night and joy be with you all
