Three Lovely Lassies From Kimmage

There were three lovely lassies from Kimmage

From Kimmage, from Kimmage

And whenever there was a bit of a scrimmage

Sure I was the toughest of all,

Sure I was the toughest of all.

Now the cause of the row was Joe Cashin

Joe Cashin, Joe Cashin,

For he told me he thought I looked smashin'

At a dance in Saint Anthony's hall,

At a dance in Saint Anthony's hall.

Well the other two young ones were flippin’

Were flippin’, were flippin’

When they saw me and Joe we were trippin'

To the strains of the Tennessee Waltz,

To the strains of the Tennessee Waltz.

When he gets a few jars he goes frantic

Goes frantic, goes frantic

But he's tall and he's dark and romantic

And I love him in spite of it all,

And I love him in spite of it all.

Now me Ma said she thought we should marry

Should marry, should marry,

She said it was foolish to tarry

So she lent him the price of the ring,

So she lent him the price of the ring.

Now me Da said he'll buy us a present

A present, a present,

A stool and a lousy stuffed pheasant

And a picture to hang on the wall,

And a picture to hang on the wall.

I went down to the tenancy section

The section, the section

The TD just before the election,

Said he'd get me a house near me ma,

Said he'd get me a house near me ma.

Now we're getting a house, the man said it

He said it, he said it,

When I've nine or ten kids to me credit

In the meantime we'll live with me ma,

In the meantime we'll live with me ma.
