Come single belle and beau, unto me pay attention Don't ever fall in love, it's the devil's own invention Once I fell in love with a lady so bewitching Miss Henrietta Bell down in Captain Kelly's kitchen With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie Toora loora la, toora loora laddie With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie Toora loora la, toora loora laddie At the age of seventeen I was apprenticed to a grocer Not far from Stephen's Green, where Miss Henry used to go sir Her manners were so fine, she set my heart a-twitchin' And she invited me to a courtin' in the kitchen With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie Toora loora la, toora loora laddie Now next Sunday being the day, that we were to have a flare-up I dressed me self quite gay and I frizzed and oiled me hair up The captain had no wife, and he had gone a'fishin' So we kicked up high life to hooley in the kitchen With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie Toora loora la, toora loora laddie With her arms around me waist, she slyly hinted marriage When to the door in haste, we heard captain Kelly's carriage Her eyes soon filled with hate and they were not bewitchin' When the footman broke the door and walked straight into the kitchen With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie Toora loora la, toora loora laddie With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie Toora loora la, toora loora laddie She flew up off my knee, a full five feet or higher And over head and heel threw me slap into the fire My new repealers coat, that I got from Mr. Mitchell With a twenty shilling note went to blazes in the kitchen With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie Toora loora la, toora loora laddie When the captain came downstairs, though he saw my situation In spite of all my prayers, I was marched off to the station For me they set no bail, but to get to the home I was itchin' So I had to tell the tale of how I came into the kitchen Well, I swore she did invite me, though she gave a flat denial For assault, they did indict me and I was sent for trial She swore I robbed the house in spite of her screechin' And I got six months hard, for me courtin' in the kitchen With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie Toora loora la, toora loora laddie With me toora loora la, toora loora laddie Toora loora la, toora loora laddie
