Fiddler's Green - Limerick Style lyrics

There was a pretty young lady
Pretty lady named Bright
My God, she travelled so much faster
So much faster than light
And when she set out one
Day in a relative way
Was gone and came back and
Came back the previous night
There was spunky young man
A brave fellow from Lime
My God, he married three wives
Oh three wives at a time
When ask why a third
He replied, "One's absurd
And bigamy sir, is a terrible crime"

Two wives at a time what a terrible crime

Come with me (We'll follow you)
Down to Limerick town, going round and round
Come with me (We'll follow you)
Where you'll find a rhyme from another time
Come with me (We'll follow you)
Do the Limerick style from the Emerald Isle
Come with me (We'll follow you)
Five lines in your hand
Send you round the bend

There was a fearless young lady
Fearless lady from Riga
And she smiled as she rode
As she road on a tiger
They came back from the ride
With the lady inside
And a fairly broad smile on
The face of the tiger
There was a clever young canner
Exceedingly canny
And one morning he remarked
He remarked to his granny a canner can can
Anything that he can
But a canner can't can a can, can he?

Exceedingly canny he remarked to his granny

Come with me (We'll follow you)
Down to Limerick city where
The words are gritty
Come with me (We'll follow you)
Where you'll find a rhyme from another time
Come with me (We'll follow you)
Do the Limerick style from the Emerald Isle
Come with me (We'll follow you)
Five lines in your hand
Send you round the bend

What's a Limerick mother?
It's a form of verse, said brother
In which lines one and two
Rhyme with five when it's through
And three and four rhyme with each other

Hey, hey hey hey hey, hey hey hey

Come with me (We'll follow you)
Down to Limerick town, going round and round
Come with me (We'll follow you)
Down to Limerick city where
The words are gritty
Come with me (We'll follow you)
Do the Limerick style from the Emerald Isle
Come with me (We'll follow you)
Send you round the bend
