The Irish Rovers - Mick Maguire lyrics

Your rating:

Me name is Mick Maguire and I'll quickly tell to you
Of a young girl I admired one Katie Donoghue
She was fair and fat and forty and believe me when I 
say
Whenever I'd come in at the door you could hear her 
mother say

Johnny get up from the fire get up and give your man a 
seat
Can't you see it's Mick Maguire and he's courtin' your 
sister Kate
You know very well he owns a farm a wee bit out of the 
town
Ah get out of that ya impudent brat and let Mister 
Maguire sit down

Well the first time I met her was at a dance in 
Donnahadee
I very kindly ask her would she dance a step with me
I asked if I could see her home if she'd be going my 
way
But whenever I'd come in at the door you could hear the 
ould one say

Johnny get up from the fire get up and give your man a 
seat
Can't you see it's Mick Maguire and he's courtin' your 
sister Kate
You know very well he owns a farm a wee bit out of the 
town
Ah get out of that ya impudent brat and let Mister 
Maguire sit down

But now that we are married her mammy's changed her 
mind
Just because I spent the money that me daddy left 
behind
Now she hasn't got the decency to me time of the day
And whenever I'd come in at the door you could hear her 
mammy say

Johnny come up to the fire come you're sitting in the 
draft
Can't you see it's ould Maguire and he nearly drives me 
daft
Sure I don't know what gets in him and he's always on 
the tear
So sit where you are and never you dare, give ould 
Maguire the chair
