Irish Descendents - Uncle Dan lyrics

rate me

TRADITIONAL

NOW THE WIDOW LIVED BY THE STRAND

FOR FORTY YEARS WITHOUT A MAN

SHE DANCED AROUND AND SHE WAVED HER FAN

AND SET HER EYES ON ME UNCLE DAN

CHORUS:

SHE CAN DANCE TO THE FLUTE,DANCE TOTHE FIDDLE

SHE'S AS NEAT AROUND THE WAIST AS A COW AROUND THE MIDDLE

LET HER GO LET HER GO, YOU'LL FIND ANOTHER

THERE'S A LOT OF PRETTY WOMEN AT THE HEAD OF GRAND RIVER

NOW HE WOULD NOT LISTEN TO MY ADVICE

SO HE MARRIED HERE THERE ON A WINTRY NIGHT

SHE ATE ALL THE GRUB AT THE PARTY FAIR

AND DRANK EVERY MAN CLEAN UNDER HIS CHAIR

CHORUS

NOW WHEN HE GOT HOME ON HIS WEDDING NIGHT

ME UNCLE DAN GOT A HELL OF A FRIGHT

SHE HUNG ONE LEG UPON THE WALL

DOWN ON HTE FLOOR HER TEETH DID FALL

ONE GLASS EYE, OFF CAME HER HAIR

AND DOWN THE ROAD ME UNCLE DAN DID TEAR

CHORUS

NOW THEY CLAIM HE RAN TO FRANCE OR SPAIN

AND HE SENT A LETTER HOME TO HER SAYING

DARLING IF YOU EVER NEED ANOTHER MAN

YOU CAN COUNT ME OUT,"LOVE UNCLE DAN"

CHORUS
