In the town of Killy Beggs
There was a lassie dwelling
I knew her very well and
Her strory's worth a telling |
Her father had a still
He was a great distiller
And when she took to drinking
Well the devil couldn't fill her |
(chorus)
With a marinka doot'n'dah
Marinka doot'n'daddy
Marinka doot'n'dah
And a whack for my daddy o |
Well she had a wooden leg
And it was hollow in the middle
She used to put a string in it
And play it like a fiddle |
She fiddled in the hall
She fiddled in the alleyway
She didn't care at all for
She had to fiddle anyway |
| (chorus) |
She had lovers by the score
Every Tom & Dick & Harry
She was courted night and day
But still she wouldn't marry |
And then she fell in love
To a fella with a stammer
And when he tried to run away
She hit him with a hammer |
| (chorus) |
She had children by the score
Children round the byre
And half a dozen more of them
Sitting round the fire |
She fed them on potatoes
And soup she made from nettles
And lumps of hairy meat
That she boiled up in the kettle |
| (chorus) |
And she lived there quite contented
Eating porridge and MacPudding
She terrorised her man
Until he died quite sudden |
And when her husband died
She felt so sick and sorry
She wrapped him in a blanket
And she threw him down the quarry !!! |
With a marinka doot'n'dah
Marinka doot'n'daddy
Marinka doot'n'dah
And a whack for my daddy |
