Out for recreation, we went on a tramp And we met Sergeant Napper and Corporal Vamp And a little wee drummer, intending to camp For the day being pleasant and charming. "Good morning ! Good morning!" the sergeant did cry "And the same to you gentlemen!" we did reply , Intending no harm but meant to pass by For it being on Christmas morning. But says he, "My fine fellows if you will enlist, It's ten guineas in gold I will slip in your fist And a crown in the bargain for to kick up the dust And drink the King's health in the morning. For a soldier he leads a very fine life And he always is blessed with a charming young wife And he pays all his debts without sorrow or strife And always lives pleasant and charming... And a soldier he always is decent and clean In the finest of clothing he's constantly seen While other poor fellows go dirty and mean And sup on thin gruel in the morning." "But", says Arthur, "I wouldn't be proud of your clothes For you've only the lend of them as I suppose And you dare not change them one night, for you know If you do you'll be flogged in the morning. And although that we are single and free we take great delight in our own company And we have no desire strange faces to see Although that your offers are charming And we have no desire to take your advance All hazards and dangers we barter on chance For you would have no scruples for to send us to France Where we would get shot without warning" "Oh now!", says the sergeant "I'll have no such chat And I neither will take it from spalpeen or brat For if you insult me with one other word I'll cut off your heads in the morning" And then Arthur and I we soon drew our hods And we scarce gave them time for to draw their own blades When a trusty shillelagh came over their heads And bade them take that as fair warning And their old rusty rapiers that hung by their side We flung them as far as we could in the tide "Now take them out, Divils!", cried Arthur McBride "And temper their edge in the morning". And the little wee drummer we flattened his pow And we made a football of his rowdeydowdow Threw it in the tide for to rock and to row And bade it a tedious returning And we having no money, paid them off in cracks And we paid no respect to their two bloody backs For we lathered them there like a pair of wet sacks And left them for dead in the morning. And so to conclude and to finish disputes We obligingly asked if they wanted recruits For we were the lads who would give them hard clouts And bid them look sharp in the morning. Oh me and my cousin, one Arthur McBride As we went a walkin' down by the seaside, Now mark what followed and what did betide For it being on Christmas morning Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Helpless Heart, Just In Time, Love Hurts, Minutes Away, Miles Apart, Night Hunting Time, Nobody Knows, Nothing But the Same Old Story, Oh What a World, Paradise Is Here, Soul Child, Steel Claw, The Awakening, The Great Pretender, The Island, The Law Of Love, The Long Goodbye, The World Is What You Make It, To Be The One, Trick Or Treat, Trust In You, 12 Step Recovery, A Little In Love, A Love That Strong, A Star Is Born, Add Em All Up, Alberta Bound, All Over Me, Calm Before The Storm, Chain Reaction, Convoy, Dry Eye, Home, I Do, I Meant To Do That, I Still Do, Its A Beautiful Thing, Jingle Bells, King, Lets Live It Up, Live Now, My Heart Has A History, O Holy Night, On The Inside, One, One And Only One, Outside The Frame, Pass Me By (If Youre Only Passing Through), Really And Truly, Rich Man, Run Run Rudolph, Other Brady Paul song Lyrics Airwaves Lyrics Believe In Me Lyrics Blue World Lyrics Busted Loose Lyrics Cold Cold Night Lyrics Crazy Dreams Lyrics Dance The Romance Lyrics Dancer In The Fire Lyrics Deep In Your Heart Lyrics Follow On Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Paul Brady Lyrics Brandt Paul Lyrics Paul Brandt Lyrics Carrack Paul Lyrics Paul Carrack Lyrics Paul Chaplain Lyrics Paul Coleman Trio Lyrics Paul Colman Trio Lyrics Paul Davis Lyrics Davis Paul Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
