the dubliners - the louse house of kilkenny lyrics

oh, the first of me downfall i set out the door
i straight made me way on for carrick+on+suir
going out by rathronan ’twas late in the night
going out the west gate for to view the gaslight
radley fal the diddle ay
radley fal the diddle airo

i went to the town’s hall to see the big lamp
and who should i meet but a bl++dy big tramp
i finally stepped over and to him i said:
“will you kindly direct me to where i’ll get a bed?”
radley fal the diddle ay
radley fal the diddle airo
’twas then he directed me down to cooks lanе
to where old buck st john kept an old sleeping cagе
from out of the door was a small piece of board
hung out on two nails with a short piece of cord
radley fal the diddle ay
radley fal the diddle airo

i looked up and down till i found out the door
and a queerer old household sure i ne’er saw before
then the misses came out and these words to me said:
“if you give me three coppers, sure i’ll give you a bed”
radley fal the diddle ay
radley fal the diddle airo

well i then stood aside with me back to the wall
and the next thing i saw was an oul cobbler’s stall
and there was the cobbler and he mending his brogues
with his hammers and pinchers all laid in a row
radley fal the diddle ay
radley fal the diddle airo

then she brought me upstairs and she put out the light
and in less than five minutes i had to show fight
and in less than five more when the story was best
the fleas came around me and brought me a curse
radley fal the diddle ay
radley fal the diddle airo
’twas all around me body they formed a march
’twas all around me body they played the death march
for the bl++dy oul major gave me such a pick
that he nearly made away with half of me hip
radley fal the diddle ay
radley fal the diddle airo

now i’m going to me study, these lines to pen down
and if any poor traveller should e’er come to town
and if any poor traveller should be nighted like me
beware of buck st john and his black cavalry
radley fal the diddle ay
radley fal the diddle airo
