《The Story I Tell You Is True》歌词

[00:00:00] The Story I Tell You Is True - Philomena Begley

[00:00:09] Come stroll for a while through my memory

[00:00:13] And I'll tell you of times long ago

[00:00:18] When we walked to school summer and winter

[00:00:22] Barefoot through the fields we would go

[00:00:27] I remember our little thatched cottage

[00:00:31] And the half-door led into the hall

[00:00:37] The crane over the fire in the kitchen

[00:00:40] And the grandfather clock on the wall

[00:00:46] Oh the stout it was cured with a poker

[00:00:50] And poiting they said cured the flu

[00:00:55] The bacon it hung from the ceiling

[00:00:59] Sure this story I tell you is true

[00:01:05] We went in the trap to mass sundays

[00:01:08] And grandad would wear his best hat

[00:01:14] The priest would recite from the altar

[00:01:17] And the women in different seats sat

[00:01:23] Matchmaking was part of tradition

[00:01:27] And the rambling house filled up at night

[00:01:32] When the tailor would tell the ghost stories

[00:01:36] Oh the children would shiver with fright

[00:01:41] Oh the stout it was cured with a poker

[00:01:45] And poiting they said cured the flu

[00:01:51] The bacon it hung from the ceiling

[00:01:54] Sure this story I tell you is true

[00:02:09] I remember the sound of the anvil

[00:02:13] And the burning horse-hoof we would smell

[00:02:18] We passed the forge door in the evening

[00:02:22] With water we fetched from the well

[00:02:27] We spancelled the cows before milking

[00:02:32] Tied the horse to the wall through the shoe

[00:02:37] His collar and hames his winkers and reins

[00:02:41] The harness we kept it like new

[00:02:46] Oh the stout it was cured with a poker

[00:02:50] And poiting they said cured the flu

[00:02:55] The bacon it hung from the ceiling

[00:02:59] Sure this story I tell you is true

[00:03:05] For miles to the fair in the darkness

[00:03:08] With our animals we walked with delight

[00:03:14] When the wheeling and dealing was over

[00:03:17] Every one waited on for the fight

[00:03:23] Now I hope that in telling this story

[00:03:28] I haven't detained you too long

[00:03:32] There is so much more I must tell you

[00:03:36] Some day in some other song

[00:03:41] Oh the stout it was cured with a poker

[00:03:45] And poiting they said cured the flu

[00:03:51] The bacon it hung from the ceiling

[00:03:54] Sure this story I tell you is true

[00:03:59] Sure this story I tell you is true
