Oh, me name is Mick McGuire and I'll quickly tell to you Of a young girl I admired called Kate Donahue She was fair an' fat an' fourty, believe me when I say Whenever I came in at the door I heard her mummy say "Johnny get up from fire and give the man a sate Don't you see it's old McGuire and he's courtin' your sister Kate Oh, you know very well he owns a farm a wee bit out of a town Get up of that, you impudent brat and let the Mac sit down" The first time that I met her was at dance at Termagee And I very kindly asked her if she'd dance a step with me Then I asked if I could see her home if I'd be goin' her way Whenever I came in at the door i heard her mummy say "Johnny get up from fire and give the man a sate Don't you see it's old McGuire and he's courtin' your sister Kate Oh, you know very well he owns a farm a wee bit out of a town Get up of that, you impudent brat and let the Mac sit down" But now that we are married, sure, her mother changed her mind Just because I spent the legacy her father left behind Now I got a bid of decadency get me time of day Whenever I came in at the door I heard her mummy say "Johnny, come up to fire, you're sittin' in the draft Don't you see it's old McGuire and he nearly drives me daft Oh, you know very well he owns a farm a wee bit out of a town Just sit where you are and never you dare to give old Mac the chair"
