Sing along with CaliCeltic! 

March 2022 

Don’t know the words? Here’s a quick guide to singing along with the BEST parts of your favorite Irish songs! 

-------- No Porter on Paddy’s ---------- 

There’s no porter, 

No porter on Paddy’s! 

There’s no bog roll 

At all on the shelves, 

There’ll be no pints of black 

And you can’t have the craíc, 

Unless it’s at home 

by yourselves! 

—---------------------------------------------------- 

Tell Me Ma 

I’ll tell me ma 

When I go home 

The boys won’t leave 

The girls alone 

Pulled me hair 

and stole me comb 

But that’s all right ‘til I go home 

She is handsome, 

She is pretty, 

She is the belle of Belfast City! 

She is a’courtin’ 1 2 3 

Please won’t you tell me 

Who is she? 

—---------------------------------------------------- 

Scolding Wife 

And if the devil would take her 

I’d thank him for his pains 

I swear to god I’ll hang meself 

If I get married again! 

—---------------------------------------------------- 

Streams of Whiskey 

I am going, I am going 

Whichever way the wind may be blowing 

I am going, I am going 

Where streams of whiskey are flowing! 

—---------------------------------------------------- 

When I grow up 

When I grow up 

I want to drink 

In a pub with a pint 

every time I blink 

[ Who cares what the neighbors think ] 

[ I’ll throw up in the kitchen sink ] 

[ I’ll order 2 at a time, clink-clink! ] 

When I grow up I want to drink! 

—---------------------------------------------------- 

The Fantastic Slapping Adventures of a Tuesday Night 

I don’t mean to seem irate, 

I want the beer 

from St. James Gate 

A frothy pint 

would be just great 

I want the beer 

from St. James Gate! 

—---------------------------------------------------- 

Black Velvet Band 

Her eyes 

shone like the diamonds 

I thought she was 

queen of the land 

With her hair 

thrown over her shoulder 

Tied up in a black velvet band 

 —---------------------------------------------------- 

Mari Mac 

Mari-Macs mother's 

makin' Mari-Mac marry me 

My mother's makin' me 

marry Mari-Mac 

Well I'm gonna marry Mari cause Mari's takin' care o' me 

We'll all be feelin' merry 

when I marry Mari-Mac 

 —---------------------------------------------------- 

 The Tippler 

I know everyone 

In this town 

From their great-great-great 

Grandfathers down 

You I’ve never seen around 

Sure as I could knock ye 

To the ground! 

—---------------------------------------------------- 

The Mermaid 

'Cause her hair 

was green as seaweed 

Her skin was blue and pale 

Her face it was a work of art 

I loved that girl 

with all my heart 

But I only liked the upper part 

I did not like the tail 

 —---------------------------------------------------- 

Captain Kid 

O, my name was Captain Kidd 

As I sailed, as I sailed 

O, my name was Captain Kidd 

As I sailed 

My name was Captain Kidd 

And God's laws I did forbid 

And so wickedly I did 

As I sailed, as I sailed 

So wickedly I did 

As I sailed 

 —---------------------------------------------------- 

Paddy on the Railway 

I was wearing… 

corduroy britches 

Digging ditches 

pulling switches 

dodging hitches 

I was workin' on the railway! 

—---------------------------------------------------- 

Wild Rover 

And it's no, nay, never 

RISE UP YOUR SKIRTS!! 

No, nay never no more 

Will I play the wild rover 

No never no more 

—---------------------------------------------------- 

Muirsheen Durkin 

Goodbye Muirsheen Durkin, 

I'm sick and tired of workin' 

No more I'll dig the praties 

No longer I’ll be fooled! 

As sure as me name is Carney, 

I'll be off to Californ-yee 

Where instead of diggin' praties, 

I'll be diggin' lumps of gold 

—---------------------------------------------------- 

—---------------------------------------------------- 

Evening Sun 

Hey ho, down in the mine 

Tug on the rope, 

give the bell a good chime, 

Supper's on the table, 

day's all done 

Papa's on the stoop 

with the evenin' sun 

 —---------------------------------------------------- 

Rundlets and Kilderkins 

It's the drink of the gods 

That's for sure 

It's bold and fresh 

And mountain pure 

Whatever is ailing you 

This is the cure 

It's bold and fresh 

And mountain pure 

—---------------------------------------------------- 

Whiskey in the Jar 

Mush-a ring um a doo um a dah 

Whack fo the daddy-o, whack fo the daddy-o 

There's whiskey in the jar!
