lyrics

One for the Morning Glory,
Two for the early dew.
Three for the man who can stand his ground
And four for the love of you, me girl,
Four for the love of you.
At the end of the day, I like a little drink,
To raise up me voice and sing.
And an hour or two with a fine, brown brew,
And I’m ready for anything.
At the Crosskeys Inn there were sisters four,
The landlord’s daughters fair.
And every night, when he put out the light,
I would tip-toe up the stairs.
[CHORUS]
Well, I got the call from the foreign shore,
To go and fight the foe!
And I got no more of the sisters four,
But still I was set to go.
I sailed away on a ship; the Morning Glory was her name.
And we all fell down, when the rum went ‘round,
And we’d get up and start again!
[CHORUS]
Well I’m home once more, to my native shore,
Farewell to the ragin’ seas!
And the Crosskeys Inn, it was beckonin’,
And my heart was filled with glee.
There on the shore where the sisters four, with bundle upon each knee.
There were three little girls and a bouncing boy,
And they all looked just like...HIM!
[CHORUS] x2
