Dixie Chicks - Irish Medley Lyrics
I wish I were in Dublin or some other seaport townI'd set my foot on a steamboat and sail the ocean 'roundSailing 'round the ocean, sailing 'round the seaI think of handsome Molly wherever she may beI am a beggarman and a beggin' I have beenFor three score or more on this lil' isle of greenI'm known from the Liffy on down to SeguAnd I'm known by the name of Little Johnny DooOf all the trades a-goin' sure a-beggin' is the bestWhen a man gets tired he can lay his head to restHe can beg for his supper when there's nothing else to doOr go sit 'round the corner in his ol' rigadooWe slept one night in a barn in ClairebonWe went ***** all night and slept until the dawnHoles in the roof and the rain a-pourin' throughAnd the cats and the rats they were a-playin peek-a-booWho should awaken but the woman of the houseIn a white spotted apron and a calico blouseShe began to frighten and I said "Boo!""Don't be afraid ma'am, it's only Johnny Doo!"Over the fields with a pack on my backOver the hills with a creak in me sackHoles in my shoes and my toes peekin' throughSinging "Shinkle and a wrinkle it's only Johnny Doo!"Well, it's getting late at night and it's time to go to bedAnd the fire's all out and whoops goes the lightNow you know the story of the old rigadooSo good night and God be with you says Little Johnny Doo
