Mrs. McGrath 歌词

Now, Mrs. McGrath," the sergeant said, "Would you like to make a soldier Out of your son, Ted? With a scarlet cloak and a fine cocked hat, Mrs. McGrath wouldn't you like that?" Mrs. McGrath lived on the seashore For the span of seven long years or more 'Till she saw big ship sailing into the bay Saying,"Here's my son Ted! Won't you clear the way!" "Oh, Captain dear, where have you been. Have you been out sailin' on the Meditereen'. Tell me the news of my son Ted. Is the poor boy livin' or is he dead?" Now up comes Ted without any legs And in their place he has two wooden pegs She kissed him a dozen times or two Saying "Holly Molly! Sure, it couldn't be you?"

Or was it out walking upon the sea That tore your legs from the ground to the knee?" "No I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind When I left my two fine legs behind. For a cannon ball on the fifth of May Took my two fine legs from the knees away." "Now Teddy me boy," the old widow cried "Your two fine legs was your mama's pride Them stumps of a tree won't do at all Why didn't you run from the big cannon ball?" "Now against all war, I do profrain Between Don Juan and the King of Spain And, by herrons, I'll make 'em rue the time When they swept the legs from a child of mine."
