And those two brothers, 'twixt me and you Those two brothers were rich, were as rich as a Jew cho: Derry down, down, down derry down. Now Moses and Isaac, I'll call them by name For making sharp bargains they were of just fame. If people need money, it always was lent And they never would charge over ninety percent. One day, the lad Moses, his days they were o'er For the Lord called on Moses to settle the score. No mortal on earth can reserve his last call For now Moses was taking his last leave of all. So then said old Isaac with a voice like an elk "All his money and riches I'll have for myself But here is his will, and I'll read it right through And find out what Moses would have me to do." He picked up the will and as sure as you live, All my money and riches to my brother I'll give. For the money and riches, I'd have him to toil He must bury my body on good English soil. He went to the captains, but could not prevail For none with the body would agree to set sail. So, not to be beaten, he went right to work And embarged him on board as a barrel of salt pork. One day, as Isaac was walking the wharf He met with the captain, a surly-faced dwarf. Said he to the captain, looking steadfast and down "I hope you delivered my pork safe and sound" "Oh no," said the captain, "that I cannot say, For in sight of land we were near cast away. Drawing near to old England we had a revolt Then provisions got short and we had to break bolt." "Break bolt," said old Isaac, "You're worse than the Turk You didn't disturb my barrel of salt pork?" "Oh yes," saidd the captain, speaking up very gruff "We ate up your pork, It was damnably tough." "Oh God!" said old Isaac, "You're worse than a sinner. You would eat up my poor brother Moses for dinner!" "Oh God!" said the captain, "Has me and my crew Been living three weeks on a barrel of tough Jew?" "But now," said the captain," to finish the joke I will pay you for Moses as though he was pork." "Oh no," said old Isaac, "we will cheat one another For the Lord won't allow us to sell our own brother." But Isaac 'served the captain putting back his own gold. Then he said to the captain, "Dear captain, please hold. Now seeing you can't pay for that brother of mine You might at least pay for the barrel and brine." from Folk Songs out of Wisconson (Peters) @sailor @food filename[ PCKLDJEW play.exe DERRYDWN RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus 2, Play Me, Pleasant And Delightful, Pleasant And Delightful Seattle, Please To See The King, Pleasure And Pain, Poland Native Anthem Text, Polly Oliver, Polly On The Shore, Polly Vaughn, Polly Vaugn, Poor Boy, Poor Ellen Smith, Poor Lonesome Cowboy, Poor Man, Poor Old Maid, Poor Whores Complaint, Pop Goes The Weasel, Popular Wobbly, Portugal Native Anthem Text, Posie, Poverty Hill, Poverty Knock, Preacher And The Slave, Precious Lord, Pressers, Pretty Babes In The Wood, Pretty Little Bird, Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly Perkins Of Paddington Green, Pretty Saro, Price Of Freedom, Pride Of Glencoe, Prisoners Song, Private John Q, Pro Musica Antiqua, Process Man, Programmers Lament, Prominent Bar In Secaucus, Provincials Farewell, Psv Clubsong, Public Bar, Puddy And The Mouse, Puff The Magic Dragon, Punch And Judy, Put Another Log On The Fire, Put It In A Cool Dry Place, Putting On The Style, Quantrell, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson 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
