tommy makem - the twenty-third of june lyrics

it bein’ on the twenty-third of june, as i sat weaving
all on my loom
it bein’ on the twenty-third of june, as i sat weaving
all on my loom
i heard a thrush singing on yon bush
and the song he sang was the jug of punch
chorus:
ladly-fol-da-dee, ladly-fol-da-diddley-i-da-diddle-dum
skiddery-i-da-diddle-dum, skiddery-i-da-diddle-iddle-
um-dum-dee
what more diversion can a man desire, than to sit him
down oh, beside the fire
what more diversion can a man desire, than to sit him
down oh, beside the fire
and in his hand a jug of punch
aye, and on his knee a tidy wench
chorus

oh, what more hardship can a boy endure, than to sit
him down, oh, behind the door
oh, what more hardship can a boy endure, than to sit
him down, oh, behind the door
and in his hand no jug of punch
aye, and on his knee no tidy wench
chorus
when i am dead, all my drinking’s over, i’ll take one
drink and i’ll drink no more
when i am dead, all my drinking’s over, i’ll take one
drink and i’ll drink no more
in case i mightn’t get it on that day
i will take it now and i’ll drink away
chorus
when i am dead, aye and in my mould, at my head and
feet leave a flowing bowl
when i am dead, aye and in my mould, at my head and
feet leave a flowing bowl
and every young man that p-sses by
he can take a drink and remember i
chorus
