Come single
belle and beau
unto me pay
attention
Don't ever fall in
love it's the
devil's own invention
For once I fell in
love with a maiden
so bewitching
Miss Henrietta Bell out in
Captain Kelly's kitchen
With me toora-loora-la
Me toora-loora-laddie
me toora-loora-la
toora-loora laddie
At the age
of seventeen
I was prenticed
to a grocer
Not far from
Stephen's Green
where Miss Henri
used to go sir
Her manners
were sublime and
she set me
heart a-twitchin'
When she invited me to
a hooley in the kitchen
With me toora-loora-la
Me toora-loora-laddie
me toora-loora-la
toora-loora-laddie
Now I said she
did invite me but
she gave a flat denial
For assault she
did indict me and
I was sent for trial
She swore I robbed
the house and in spite
of all her screechin
And I got six months
hard for me
courtin in the kitchen
With me toora-loora-la
Me toora-loora-laddie
And me toora-loora-la
toora-loora-laddie
I said she
did invite me
but she gave
a flat denial
For assault she
did indict me and
I was sent for trial
She swore I
robbed the house
and in spite of all
her screechin
And I got six months
hard for me courtin
in the kitchen
With me toora-loora-la
Me toora-loora-laddie
And me toora-loora-la
toora-loora-laddie
