Cathy Jordan - Old Ballymoe lyrics

rate me

In the county Roscommon in the hailstones and rain as I was crossing the fields on

me way to the train I met a young Colleen says she do you know

what's the shortest shortcut into old Ballymoe?

Says I, Cailin Og, what led you astray? I think I'll go with you, and show you

the way, says she, I'm not willing for you I don't know, you might kiss me,

between here, and old Ballymoe

Says I, Cailin Og, I have slwom been kissed. Says she you poor egit, a lot you have missed.

Say's he, I'd be willing to learn, you know we could practice between

here and old Ballymoe

You think I'd go with you, you moron gay range I don't like your looks, nor

the sound of you brogne, you are young and good looking but god knows you're slow

and we don't like old dead ones in old Ballymoe

Says I've been noted, for strength and good looks and me brains aren't too bad,

when I look at the books and if you come with me it's married we'll go and

we'll live happy after in old Ballymoe

She started to laugh, ill I thought she would choke come ere you poor edjet, I'll tell

you a joke. Get out of my way, for it's home I must go I've a husband and six kids

in old Ballymoe

So in the county Roscommon in hailstones and rain, if you're crossing the fields

on the way to the train, beware of young colleens that you don't know for they

well maybe married in old Ballymoe.
