|
Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan
|
"Will ye go to the Waxies dargle?"
|
Says your aul' wan to my aul' wan,
|
"Sure I haven't got a farthing.
|
I went down to Monto town
|
To see uncle McArdle
|
But he wouldn't give me a half a crown
|
For to go to the Waxies dargle.
|
|
What'll you have? I'll have a pint
|
I'll have a pint with you, sir,
|
And if one of you doesn't order soon
|
We'll be chucked out of the boozer.
|
|
Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan
|
"Will ye go to the Galway races?"
|
Says your aul' wan to my aul' wan,
|
"With the price of my aul' lad's braces"
|
I went down to Capel Street
|
To the Jewish moneylenders
|
But they wouldn't give me a couple of bob on
|
My aul' wan's lad's suspenders.
|
|
Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan
|
"We've got no beef nor mutton
|
But if we go down to Monto town
|
We'll get a drink for nuttin'"
|
Here's a piece of sound advice
|
Got from an aul' fishmonger:
|
"When the food is scarce and you see the hearse
|
Then you'll know you've died of hunger.
