Gaelic Storm - Courtin' In the Kitchen lyrics

Come single belle and beau
Unto me pay attention
Don't ever fall in love
It's the devil's own invention
Once I fell in love with a lady so bewitching
Miss Henrietta Bell out of
Captain Kelly's kitchen
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
At the age of seventeen I
Was 'prenticed to a grocer
Not far from Stephen's Green
Where Miss Henry used to go sir
Her manners were so fine
She set my heart a-twitchin'
She invited me to a courtin' in the kitchen
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Next Sunday being the day
That we went to have a flare-up
I dressed me self quite gay and I
Frizzed and oiled me hair up
The captain had no wife
He had gone on fishin'
So we kicked up high life
To hooley in the kitchen
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
She slipped up to her room, I says good Lord
Oh lady she came back down the stairs
Wearin' nothin' but her nightie
With her arms around me waist
She slyly hinted marriage
When to the door in haste
Came captain Kelly's carriage
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
When the captain came downstairs
Do we see me situation
In spite of all me prayers
I was marched off to the station
For me they set no bail
But to get to the home I was itchin'
And I had to tell the tailor
For I came in to the kitchen
Well, I swore she did invite me
Though she gave a flat denial for assault
They did indict me and I was sent for trial
She swore I robbed the house in
Spite of all me screechin'
And I got six months hard
For me courtin' in the kitchen
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie
Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
