One for the Morning Glory
Two for the early Dew
Three for the man who will stand his round
And four for the love of you
Four for the love you me girl
At the
end of day I like a little drink
To
raise up me glass and sing
And an
hour or two with the fine brown brew
And I’m
ready for anything
At the
Crosskeys Inn there were sisters four
The
landlords’ daughters fair
And
every night when they’d put out the light
I would
tiptoe up the stairs
Chorus:
Well I
got the call from foreign shores
To go and
fight the foe
Of the
sisters four I thought no more
But
still I was sad to go
So I
sailed away on a ship
The
Morning Glory was her name
And
we’d all fall down when the rum went round
And
we’d get up and start again
Chorus:
Well
I’ll sail once from my native shore
Fare
well to your raging seas
And the
Crosskeys Inn it was begging in
And me
heart was filled with glee
For
there on the shore were the sisters four
A
bundle upon each knee
There
were three little girls and a bouncing boy
And
they all looked just like me!
