Skellig: Listening Room
Gay Old Hag, The Church Road
Gay Old Hag
If you come down to our street inquire at number nine
And you may ask one and you may ask two but the red third one is mine
With a rou rai ya, faddle diddle da, rou rai ya
She’s a gay old hag
I sat her down on a bed of down and I sat her down quite easy
Three kisses that I stole from her oh the last one drove her crazy
With a rou rai ya, faddle diddle da, rou rai ya
She’s a gay old hag
I’ve got a wife and a pretty little wife and I know I’ll not forsake her
But there’s not a town that I go down but to get one if I take her
With a rou rai ya, faddle diddle da, rou rai ya
She’s a gay old hag
I’ve got money in my purse and money in my pocket
And if I had I’m telling you from a New Ross girl I got it
With a rou rai ya, faddle diddle da, rou rai ya
She’s a gay old hag
