"The Crockery Ware" lyrics
A young man lived in Belfast town and he courted a girl called Sally Brown
A young man lived in Belfast town and he courted a girl called Sally Brown
He asked her for a favour bright that he might sleep with her all night
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Well this fair maid she gave consent and straight up to her room she went
Well this fair maid she gave consent and straight up to her room she went
And in the room there was a chair and under the chair was the crockery ware
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
The young man he got up in the night looking for his heart's delight
The young man he got up in the night looking for his heart's delight
His foot did slip I do declare and he tumbled into the crockery ware
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Her mother she got up in the night and ran upstairs with the candle light
Her mother she got up in the night and ran upstairs with the candle light
Says she, "young man what do you there a-breaking all my crockery ware?"
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
They called for the police at the break of day to see what this young man would pay
They called for the police at the break of day to see what this young man would pay
He paid nine pounds for the crockery ware and nine pounds ten for the damned ould chair
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Come all ye wild and rambling sparks that love to wander in the dark
Come all ye wild and rambling sparks that love to wander in the dark
Don't bang your shins against the chair or break the ould one's crockery ware
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
A young man lived in Belfast town and he courted a girl called Sally Brown
He asked her for a favour bright that he might sleep with her all night
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Well this fair maid she gave consent and straight up to her room she went
Well this fair maid she gave consent and straight up to her room she went
And in the room there was a chair and under the chair was the crockery ware
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
The young man he got up in the night looking for his heart's delight
The young man he got up in the night looking for his heart's delight
His foot did slip I do declare and he tumbled into the crockery ware
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Her mother she got up in the night and ran upstairs with the candle light
Her mother she got up in the night and ran upstairs with the candle light
Says she, "young man what do you there a-breaking all my crockery ware?"
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
They called for the police at the break of day to see what this young man would pay
They called for the police at the break of day to see what this young man would pay
He paid nine pounds for the crockery ware and nine pounds ten for the damned ould chair
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Come all ye wild and rambling sparks that love to wander in the dark
Come all ye wild and rambling sparks that love to wander in the dark
Don't bang your shins against the chair or break the ould one's crockery ware
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
Whack fol the diddle-dum-a-die doe day
