dominic behan - down by the liffeyside lyrics

[verse 1]
’twas by down the anna liffey one morning i did stray
where in the good oul’ slushy mud, the seagulls sport and play
we got the whiff of fish and chips, and mary softly sighed
“ah john come along for a one+and+one down by the liffeyside”

[verse 2]
then down along by george’s street, the lovin’ pairs to view
while mary sw+nked it like a queen in a skirt of royal blue
her hat was lately turned, and her blouse was newly dyed
you couldn’t match her amber locks down by the liffeyside
[verse 3]
and on her oul’ melodeon, how sweetly she did play
“goodbyе”, and “don’t sigh”, and she’d eke “down tеxas way”
but when she turned sinn féiner i nearly burst with pride
to hear her phong[?] “the soldier’s song” down by the liffeyside

[verse 4]
on sunday morning to meath street, together we will go
then it’s up to father murphy, we both will make our bow
he’ll join our hands with wedlock bands, and we’ll soon be outside
for a whole afternoon for our honeymoon down by the liffeyside

[verse 5]
and we’ll have little children, and we’ll rear them neat and clean
to shout “up the republic” and sing about sinn féin
for to emulate their oul’ fellas, who england’s power defied
sending off big guns against the saxon huns down by the liffeyside
