Three Lovely Lassies From Kimmage

(album: The Dubliner's Dublin - 1988)

There were three lovely lasses from Kimmage,
From Kimmage, from Kimmage, from Kimmage
And whenever there with a bit of a scrimmage
Sure I was the toughest of all
Sure I was the toughest of all.

Well the cause of the row is Joe Cashin
Joe Cashin, Joe Cashin, Joe Cashin
For he told me he thought I'd look smashing
At a dance in Saint Anthony's Hall,
At a dance in Saint Anthony's Hall.

Well the other two young ones were flipping,
They were flipping, they were flipping, they were flipping
When they saw me and Joe and we tripping
To the strains of the Tennessee Waltz,
To the strains of the Tennessee Waltz.

When he gets a few jars he goes frantic
Frantic, goes frantic, goes frantic
But he's tall and he's dark and romantic
And I love him in spite of it all,
And I love him in spite of it all.

Well he told me he thought we should marry,
Should marry, should marry, should marry
He said it was foolish to tarry,
So I lent him the price of the ring,
So I lent him the price of the ring,

Well me da sayd he'll give us a present,
A present, a present, a present
A stool and a lousy stuffed pheasant,
And a picture to hang on the wall,
And a picture to hang on the wall.

I went down to the Tenan sea Section in the Corporation,
The section, the section, the section
The T.D. just before the election,
Said he'd get me a house near me ma,
Said he'd get me a house near me ma.

Well we're getting a house, the man said it
Oh he said it, oh he said it, oh he said it
When I've five or six kids to me credit
In the meantime we'll live with me ma,
In the meantime we'll live with me ma.
