[00:04.42]Come single guy and gal unto me pay attention
[00:08.31]Don't ever fall in love
[00:10.13]It's the devil's own invention
[00:12.15]For once he fell in love with a maiden so bewitching
[00:16.12]Miss Henrietta Bell down in Captain Kelly's kitchen
[00:20.10]With me toora loora la me toora loora laddie
[00:25.09]Me toora loora la and me toora loora laddie
[00:28.37]At the age of seventeen I apprenticed to a grocer
[00:32.26]Not far from Stephen's Green
[00:34.18]Where Miss Henri' used to go sir
[00:36.28]Her manners were sublime she set my heart a-twitchin'
[00:40.18]When she invited me to a party in the kitchen
[00:56.58]Sunday was the day that they were to have their flare-up
[01:00.31]He dressed himself quite gay
[01:02.20]I frizzed and oiled my hair up
[01:04.39]The Captain had no wife and he had gone a-fishin'
[01:08.13]She groped me on the stairs beneath the old man's kitchen
[01:20.78]Her arms around my waist she slyly hinted marriage
[01:24.36]When to the door in haste came Captain Kelly's carriage
[01:28.71]Her eyes were full of hate and poison she was spittin'
[01:32.55]The Captain kicked the door in and stormed into the kitchen
[01:48.87]When the Captain came downstairs he saw my situation
[01:52.83]In spite of all his prayers he was marched off to the station
[01:57.08]For him they'd take no bail
[01:59.08]To get home I was itchin'
[02:01.18]He had to tell the tale how I came into the kitchen
[02:14.08]I said she did invite me
[02:15.78]But she gave flat denial
[02:17.25]For assault she did indict me and I was sent for trial
[02:21.34]She swore he'd robbed her house
[02:23.58]In spite of all her screechin'
[02:25.51]I got six months hard
[02:27.49]For his courtin' in the kitchen
