and I'll kindly tell to you
She's fair and flat and forty,
and believe me when I say
That whenever I come into the house,
you can hear her mother say
Johnny, get up from the fire,
get up, you're sitting in the seat
Can't you see it's Old McGuire
and he's got your sister Kate?
You know very well he owns the farm,
but we've been out of the town
How to get up out of that,
Yiddily -dow -de -dow -de -dow -de
Yiddily -dow -de -dow -de -dow
Yiddily -dow -de -dow -de -dow -de
Yiddily -dow -de -dow -de -dow
You know very well he owns the
where we met out of the town
How'd he get up out of that heap?
He didn't matter that Mr.
And now the first time that I met her
was the dance at Terrell McGee
And I very kindly asked her
if she'd dance a step with me
Then I asked if I could see her home,
And whenever I come into the door
you can hear her mother say
Johnny, get up in the fire,
get up, you're sittin' in the seat
Can't you see it's old McGuire
and he's burnin' your sister Kate?
You know very well he owns the farm,
a wee bit out of the town,
oughta get up out of that,
he ain't be too bad to let
yiddle -a -dow -da -dow -da -dow,
yiddle -a -dow -da -dow -da -dow -da,
yiddle -a -dow -da -dow -da -dow
You know very well he owns the farm
while we went out of the town
How to get that part of that?
You need to pat it, but Mr. McGuire,
But now that we are married
sure her mother's changed her mind
Just because I spent the legacy
She hasn't got the decency
Now whenever I come into the door
you can hear the old one say
Johnny come up to the fire
come up you're sitting in the draft
Can't you see it's old Maguire
and he nearly drives me daft
I don't know what's gotten in him
for he's always on the tear
Oughta just sit where you are
to give old Maguire the chair
Yiddly -dowdy -dowdy -dowdy
Yiddly -dowdy -dowdy -dow
Yiddly -dowdy -dowdy -dowdy
Yiddly -dowdy -dowdy -dow
I don't know what's gotten in him
for he's always on the tear
How to just sit where you are
To give Old Macquire the chair
