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

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!
