Well I met her of a friday at the dancin' We danced all night round the flure She had a bisalick and I was on fut So I ran her home to the dure Chorus: Ready for the day and the dancin You never seen the likes of it before Dancin' likethe devil to the screechin of the fiddle And the girls lepin' all around the flure Come on, in in, you boy yeh, We can't stand out in the coul' There's no one at home barren daddy And he be to be sleepin' by now' Chorus She gave me a rake of biscakes And a copful of tae in my hand When I heard a kind of phisle in a back o' me It was daddy, and he was some man! Chorus Her father he let out a gulder, You talk about getting a gunk, But I duked in aroud by the jaw box And I dunted him into the bunk Chorus She was a whingin' and a gemin' And he was roarin' on the flure If Icatch a hoult of your thrapple But I was headin' for the door Chorus I ran through the nettles and the gutters i wish that I had took a luk For I jumped through a hedge and I landed Up to my oxsters in a sheugh Chorus But I'll go back to see her Her father can do what he can And I'll go back th the dancin' For I'm a terible man! Chorus
