TAKE HER UP TO MONTO
Well if you've got a wing-o, take her up to Ring-o Where the waxies sing-o, all the day When you've had your fill of porter and you can't go any further Giveyour man the order: Back to the Quay!
But first go up to Monto, Monto, Monto First go up to Monto, langeroo, to you!
You've heard about Duke of Gloucester, the dirty old imposter Took a mot and lost her up in the Furry Glen He first put on his bowler and then he zipped up his trousers He whistled for his growler and says 'My man'
Take me up to Monto, Monto, Monto Take me up to Monto, langeroo, to you!
And when the Czar of Russia and the King of Prussia Landed in the Phoenix in a big balloon They asked the Beggarmen to play 'The Wearing of the Green' But the buggers in the lower they didn't know the tune
So we took them up to Monto, Monto, Monto We took them up to Monto, langeroo, to you!
MICK MAGUIRE
Oh my name is Mick Maguire and I'll quickly tell to you Of a young girl I admired one Katie Donoghue She was fair and fat and forty and believe me when I say Whenever I'd come in at the door you could hear her mother say
Johnny get up from the fire get up and give your man a seat Can't you see it's Mick Maguire and he's courtin' your sister Kate You know very well he owns a farm a wee bit out of the town Ah get out of that ya impudent brat and let Mister Maguire sit down
Well the first time that I met her was at a dance in Donnahadee I very kindly ask her would she dance a step with me I asked if I could see her home if she'd be going my way But whenever I'd come in at the door you could hear the ould one say
Johnny get up from the fire get up and give your man a seat Can't you see it's Mick Maguire and he's courtin' your sister Kate You know very well he owns a farm a wee bit out of the town Ah get out of that ya impudent brat and let Mister Maguire sit down
But now that we are married her mammy's changed her mind Just because I spent the money me father left behind Now she hasn't got the decency to me time of the day And whenever I'd come in at the door you could hear her mammy say
Johnny come up to the fire come you're sitting in the draft Can't you see it's ould Maguire and he nearly drives me daft Sure I don't know what gets in him and he's always on the tear So sit where you are and never you dare, give ould Maguire the chair
Auld Lang Syne (trad. Scotch)
Should auld acquaintance be forgot And never brought to min'? Should auld acquaintance be forgot And days o' lang syne?
(Chorus)
For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld land syne We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne.
I'll Tell Me Ma Irish Version
I'll tell me ma when I go home The boys won't leave the girls alone They pull my hair, they steal my comb But that's all right till I get home
(chorus):She is handsome, she is pretty She is the belle of Belfast city She is courting one, two, three Please, won't you tell me, who is she?
Albert Mooney says he loves her All the boys are fighting for her Knock at the door and ring the bell Saying, oh my true love, are you well? Out she comes, white as snow Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes Old Jenny Murphy says she'll die If she doesn't get the fellow with the roving eye
(Chorus)
Let the wind and the rain and the hail go high Snow come tumbling from the sky She's as nice as apple pie She'll get a fellow by and by When she gets a lad of her own She won't tell her ma when she gets home Let them all come as they will It's Albert Mooney she loves still
(Chorus)
