the halifax three - come down the mountain katie daly lyrics

“oh, it’s the little people playing their harps!”
“it is fine, it is fine.”
“aye, it is that, patrick.”
“listen now, dorothy, it’s me for a shot of katie daly’s brew just to take the edge off the day.”
“aye, but the bottle’s empty, boy.”
“the bottle’s empty?”
“right, the leprechauns must have got at it.”
“ach, we’d better be heading up to katie’s for a refill then.”
“right.”

come on down katie do
bring us a jug of your irish brew
we’ve been dry for a week or more
sell us a jug like you did before

come down from the mountain katie daly
come down from the mountain katie do
can’t you hear us callin’ katie daly
we want to drink your irish mountain dew

with her old man, katie came from tipperary (it’s a long, long way!)
in the pioneering year of forty+two (a vintage year!)
her old man he was shot in tombstone city (caught him right in the tombstone!)
for the making of his irish mountain dew (it was the british that did it!)

and so to jail they took poor katie daly (that’s a pity and a shame!)
ah, but very soon the gates were opened wide (saint patrick’s opened it!)
an angel came for poor old katie daly
and took her far across the great divide (that was no angel, ’twas barry fitzgerald and his skivvies, that’s who it was!)
come down from the mountain katie daly
(come on down katie do)
come down from the mountain katie do
(bring us a jug of your irish brew)
can’t you hear us callin’ katie daly
(we’ve been dry for a week or more)
we want to drink your irish mountain dew
(sell us a jug like you did before)

now before the golden gates stood katie daly (all alone!)
and saint peter said, “good brewers they are few.” (ah, what became of saint patrick?)
so step inside the gates now katie daly
and start to make a heavenly mountain dew

come down from the mountain katie daly
come down from the mountain katie do
or she’ll never more be comin’ down the mountain
and we nevermore will drink her irish mountain dew

come on down katie do
bring us a jug of your irish brew
we’ve been dry for a week or more
sell us a jug like you did before

“oh dorothy, is my eyes deceiving me ears? there’s a leprechaun i see on that stump over there.”
“oh it’s a leprechaun alright, and he’s got our bottle!”
“he’s running away, after him!”
“get him+ what, where’d he go?”
“there, he went down that gopher hole, what do we do now?”
“oh, i’ll tell you what to do.”
“what do we do, what do we do?”
“i’ll reach me hands out into hole and i’ll get him by the legs. i’ll either kick or stomp the devil out of his tail, according to his size.”
“listen, what’s that, what’s that?”
“the little devil’s down there singing!”
“he’s drunk as a skunk!”
“oh, the staggered little fool!”
“that little piggy’s drunk the whole bottle off himself.”
“oh, look at it rolling around in her seat. oh, disgusting.”
“oh, leprechauns. oh dorothy, tell me, where do you think they come from. do you think they came from out there?”
“i really don’t know!”
