seamus moore – town of ballybay lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
in the town of ballybay
there was a lassie dwelling
i knew her very well
and the story’s worth+a+telling
her father owned a still
and he was a good distiller
but when she started drinking
well the divil wouldn’t fill her

[chorus]
with my ring+a+ding+a+dong
ring+a+ding+a+daddy+o
ring+a+ding+a+dong
whack fol the daddy+o

[verse 2]
well she had a wooden leg
that was hollow down the middle
she used to tie a string
and play it like a fiddle
she fiddled in the hall
she fiddled in the alleyway
she didn’t give a d+mn
she had the fiddle anyway
[chorus]
ring+a+ding+a+dong
ring+a+ding+a+daddy+o
ring+a+ding+a+dong
whack fol the daddy+o

[verse 3]
she said she couldn’t dance
until she had her wellies on
and when she had them on
sure she’d dance as well as anyone
she wouldn’t go to bed
unless she had her shimmy on
and when she had it on
sure she’d go to bed like anyone

[chorus]
ring+a+ding+a+dong
ring+a+ding+a+daddy+o
ring+a+ding+a+dong
whack fol the daddy+o

[verse 4]
she had lovers by the score
every tom, d+ck and harry
courting night and day
but said she wouldn’t marry
until she fell in love
with a fella with a stammer
he tried to run away
and she hit him with the hammer
[chorus]
with my ring+a+ding+a+dong
ring+a+ding+a+daddy+o
ring+a+ding+a+dong
whack fol the daddy+o

[verse 5]
she had children up the stairs
and children in the byre
another ten or twelve
sitting roaring by the fire
she fed them on potatoes
soup she made from nettles
lumps of hairy bacon
she boiled up in the kettle

[chorus]
with my ring+a+ding+a+dong
ring+a+ding+a+daddy+o
ring+a+ding+a+dong
whack fol the daddy+o

[verse 6]
well she led a sheltered life
eating porridge and black pudding
she terrorised her man
until he died right sudden
and when her husband died
she wasn’t feeling sorry
she rolled him in a bag
and threw him in the quarry
[chorus]
with my ring+a+ding+a+dong
ring+a+ding+a+daddy+o
ring+a+ding+a+dong
whack fol the daddy
with my ring+a+ding+a+dong
ring+a+ding+a+daddy+o
ring+a+ding+a+dong
whack fol the daddy+o
