Three Lovely Lassies from Kimmage - The Dubliners

There were three lovely lasses from Kimmage

From Kimmage, from Kimmage, from Kimmage

And whenever there with a bit of a scrimmage

Sure I was the toughest of all

Sure I was the toughest of all

Well the cause of the row is Joe Cashin

Joe Cashin, Joe Cashin, Joe Cashin

For he told me he thought I’d look smashin'

At a dance in Saint Anthony’s Hall

At a dance in Saint Anthony’s Hall

Well the other two young ones were flippin'

They were flippin', they were flippin', they were flippin'

When they saw me and Joe and we trippin'

To the strains of the Tennessee Waltz

To the strains of the Tennessee Waltz

When he gets a few jars he goes frantic

Frantic, goes frantic, goes frantic

But he’s tall and he’s dark and romantic

And I love him in spite of it all

And I love him in spite of it all

Well he told me he thought we should marry

Should marry, should marry, should marry

He said it was foolish to tarry

So I lent him the price of the ring

So I lent him the price of the ring

Well me da sayd he’ll give us a present

A present, a present, a present

A stool and a lousy stuffed pheasant

And a picture to hang on the wall

And a picture to hang on the wall

I went down to the Tenan sea Section in the Corporation

The section, the section, the section

The T.D. just before the election

Said he’d get me a house near me ma

Said he’d get me a house near me ma

Well we’re gettin' a house, the man said it

Oh he said it, oh he said it, oh he said it

When I’ve five or six kids to me credit

In the meantime we’ll live with me ma

In the meantime we’ll live with me ma
