Karaoké Red Haired Mary Patrick Feeney

While going to the fair of Dingle one fine morning last July

While going up the road before me

A red haired girl

I chanced to spy

I went up to her says hi young lady my donkey he will carry two

Well seeing as how you have a donkey to Dingle fair I'll ride with you

Now when we reached the town of Dingle

I took her hand to say goodbye

When a tinker man stepped up beside me he belted me in my left eye

Keep your hands off red haired Mary her and I will soon be wed

We'll see the priest this very morning

Tonight we'll lie in a married bed

Now I was feeling kind of peevish

And my poor eye was sad and sore

So I tapped him gently with my hobnail

And he fell back through Murphy's door

A policeman came around the corner he told me I had broke the law

And then the donkey kicked him in the kneecap

And he fell down and broke his jaw

Oh when he went off to find his brother

The biggest man you ever did meet

And he gently tapped me with his knuckles

And I was minus two front teeth

Ah keep your hands off red haired Mary her and I will soon be wed

We'll see the priest this very morning

Tonight we'll lie in a married bed

The red haired girl she kept on smiling

I'll go with you young man she said

We'll forget the priest this very morning

Tonight we'll lie in Murphy's shed

Now through the town we rode together my black eye and her red hair

Smiling gaily at the tinkers by God we were a handsome pair

Oh take your hands off red haired Mary her and I will soon be wed

We'll forget the priest this very morning

Tonight we'll lie in Murphy's shed

Take your hands off red haired Mary her and I will soon be wed

We'll forget the priest this very morning

Tonight we'll lie in Murphy's shed
