《Courtin’ in the Kitchen》歌词

[00:00:04] Come single guy and gal unto me pay attention

[00:00:08] Don't ever fall in love

[00:00:10] It's the devil's own invention

[00:00:12] For once he fell in love with a maiden so bewitching

[00:00:16] Miss Henrietta Bell down in Captain Kelly's kitchen

[00:00:20] With me toora loora la me toora loora laddie

[00:00:25] Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie

[00:00:28] At the age of seventeen I apprenticed to a grocer

[00:00:32] Not far from Stephen's Green

[00:00:34] Where Miss Henri' used to go sir

[00:00:36] Her manners were sublime she set my heart a-twitchin'

[00:00:40] When she invited me to a party in the kitchen

[00:00:56] Sunday was the day that they were to have their flare-up

[00:01:00] He dressed himself quite gay

[00:01:02] I frizzed and oiled my hair up

[00:01:04] The Captain had no wife and he had gone a-fishin'

[00:01:08] She groped me on the stairs beneath the old man's kitchen

[00:01:20] Her arms around my waist she slyly hinted marriage

[00:01:24] When to the door in haste came Captain Kelly's carriage

[00:01:28] Her eyes were full of hate and poison she was spittin'

[00:01:32] The Captain kicked the door in and stormed into the kitchen

[00:01:48] When the Captain came downstairs he saw my situation

[00:01:52] In spite of all his prayers he was marched off to the station

[00:01:57] For him they'd take no bail

[00:01:59] To get home I was itchin'

[00:02:01] He had to tell the tale how I came into the kitchen

[00:02:14] I said she did invite me

[00:02:15] But she gave flat denial

[00:02:17] For assault she did indict me and I was sent for trial

[00:02:21] She swore he'd robbed her house

[00:02:23] In spite of all her screechin'

[00:02:25] I got six months hard

[00:02:27] For his courtin' in the kitchen
