Myself and my wife were walking the highway Is oro gra mo chree And whom should we meet but the Golden Haired Groogach Cooach mo Lon Du Bui He asked me to say if my wife was my daughter Is oro gra mo chree I answered him truly she was my life partner Cooach mo Lon Du Bui Will you give her to me for life and for ever? Is oro gra mo chree And if you refuse me I'm likely to harm you Cooach mo Lon Du Bui You go the highways and I'll go go the byways Is oro gra mo chree And whoever she follows can claim her for ever Cooach mo Lon Du Bui He went the highways and I went the byways Is oro gra mo chree So she followed the Groogach as he was the younger Cooach mo Lon Du Bui I returned to my home dejected and broken Is oro gra mo chree For three quarters I lay down alone and forlorn Cooach mo Lon Du Bui She stayed with the Groogach for a year and three quarters Is oro gra mo chree And then she returned, a disgraced and shamed "molly" Cooach mo Lon Du Bui Oh, servant in yonder how well are you feeling? Is oro gra mo chree In spite of my friends I still like my enemies Cooach mo Lon Du Bui What would you do if in death I should leave you? Is oro gra mo chree With five oaken boards I'd make a coffin to suit you Cooach mo Lon Du Bui A hug today and a hug tomorrow Is oro gra mo chree And another wee hug everday through the season Cooach mo Lon Du Bui |
