Toor-a-ah Lyrics


Irish Rovers Toor-a-ah


Here we are amongst you,
And we're here because we're here
We're only one year older
Than were this time last year A-Ah

Chorus:
Toor-A-Ah, Toor-A-Ah, Me rightful Toor-A-Ah
Rum da dum, for didl-ly-um on my Toor-A-Ah-A-Ah

The more a man has, the more a man wants
This, I don't think true
I've never met a man with a naggin' wife
Who wished that he had two A-Ah

Chorus

A young Colleen had a husband
Oh, but he was good in bed,
He went straight to sleep and he never snored
And he lay like he was dead A-Ah

Chorus

The farmers wife had children ten
And she didn't know what to do
While the sailors wife had children none
But she knew what to do

Chorus

Instumental

Chorus

Well, I've got a girl in Dublin town
I've one in Belfast too
But I never tell the Dublin girl
What the Belfast girl can do

Chorus

Whiskey's fine on a winter's night
If you ask me what I think
But I like beer
For I think it's more than just a breakfast drink

Chorus

So now our story's over
And our song is at an end
But if you buy us a pint of stouch,
We'll sing it all again A-Ah

Chorus

Chorus

Instrumental
