courtin' in the kitchen - ronnie drew lyrics

Loading...

come single belle and beau unto me pay attention
don’t ever fall in love it’s the devil’s own invention
for once i fell in love with a maiden so bewitchin’
miss henrietta bell out of captain kelly’s kitchen

with me too*ra*loo*ra*la, me too*ra*loo*ra*laddie
me too*ra*loo*ra*la, too*ra*loo*ra*laddie

at the age of seventeen i was ‘prenticed to a grocer
not far from steven’s green, where miss bell for tea would go, sir
her mannеrs were so free, she sеt me heart a*twitchin’
she invited me to tea, down in captain kelly’s kitchen

next sunday being the day we were to have the flare*up
i dressed meself quite gay, an’ i frizzed and oiled my hair up
the captain had no wife, and he had gone a fishin’
and we kicked up high life, below*stairs in the kitchen

with me too*ra*loo*ra*la, me too*ra*loo*ra*laddie
me too*ra*loo*ra*la, too*ra*loo*ra*laddie

just as the clock struck six we sat down to the table
she handed tay and cake and i ate while i was able
i ate cakes, drank punch and tea, till my side had got a stitch in
and the hours passed quick away, when you’re courtin’ in the kitchen
with me too*ra*loo*ra*la, me too*ra*loo*ra*laddie
me too*ra*loo*ra*la, too*ra*loo*ra*laddie

with me arms around her waist, i kissed ***she hinted marriage
to the door in dreadful haste came captain kelly’s carriage
her looks told me full well that moment she was wishin’
that i’d get out to h*ll, or somewhere far from the kitchen

with me too*ra*loo*ra*la, me too*ra*loo*ra*laddie
me too*ra*loo*ra*la, too*ra*loo*ra*laddie

she flew up off me knees, full seven feet up or higher
and over head and heels, threw me slap into the fire
me new repealer’s coat, that i bought from mrs. stichen
with a thirty*shilling note, went to blazes in the kitchen

with me too*ra*loo*ra*la, me too*ra*loo*ra*laddie
me too*ra*loo*ra*la, too*ra*loo*ra*laddie

i grieved to see me duds, all besmeared with smoke and ashes
when a tub of dirty suds, right in me face she dashes
as i lay on the floor, still the water she kept pitchin’
the footman broke the door, and marched into the kitchen

with me too*ra*loo*ra*la, me too*ra*loo*ra*laddie
me too*ra*loo*ra*la, too*ra*loo*ra*laddie
when the captain came downstairs, and seen my situation
in spite all of me prayers i was marched off to the station
for me they’d take no bail, tho’ to get home i was itchin’
but i had to tell the tale how i got into the kitchen

with me too*ra*loo*ra*la, me too*ra*loo*ra*laddie
me too*ra*loo*ra*la, too*ra*loo*ra*laddie

i said she did invite me, but she gave a flat denial
for assault she did indict me, and i was sent for trial
she swore i robbed the house, in spite of all her screechin’
and i got six months hard, for me courtin’ in the kitchen
