bockbock the word is getting around that YOU run the best swaps....thanks

True that!! There are about 40,000 people who don't know what they are missing....

You just about made me spit out my coffee!~ We took DS( he is 15) out to lunch yesterday. He had a DRs appointment out of town so we decided as long as he was missing school we may as well go all out. We were talking when he said True that! I just stared at him like he had 2 heads because it just sounded really odd coming from him. Then he says "Hey don't judge me because I am whiter than sour cream!" Makes me giggle just thinking about it! KIDS!!

Welcome back ... to another edition of "Irish Culture, folklore, cuisine, poetry and SONG"

COURTIN' IN THE KITCHEN

Come single belle and beau, unto me pay attention
Don't ever fall in love, tis the devil's own invention
For once I fell in love with a maiden so bewitchin'
Miss Henrietta Bell down in Captain Kelly's kitchen

Chorus:
With me too-rah-loo-rah-lay, me too-rah-loo-rah-laddie
With me too-rah-loo-rah-lay, me too-rah-loo-rah-laddie

At the age of seventeen I was 'prenticed to a grocer
Not far from Stephen's Green where Miss Henri used to go sir
Her manners were so fine, she set me heart a twitchin'
When she invited me to a hooley in the kitchen

Sunday being the day we were to have the flare up
I dressed meself quite gay and I frizzed an oiled me hair up
The captain had no wife and he'd gone off a fishin'
So we kicked up the highlife below the stairs in the kitchen

With me arms around her waist, she slyly hinted marriage
When to the door in haste came Captain Kelly's carriage
Her looks told me full well and they were not bewitchin'
That she wished I'd get to hell, or somewhere from the kitchen

She flew up off my knees, full five feet up or higher
And over head and heels threw me slap into the fire!
My new Repealer's coat, that I bought from Mr. Stichen
With a thirty-shilling note, went to blazes in the kitchen

I grieved to see my duds, all besmeared with smoke and ashes
When a tub of dirty suds right in my face she dashes
As I lay on the floor still the water she kept pitchin'
'Till the footman broke the door, and marched down into the kitchen

When the Captain came downstairs though he seen me situation
Despite all me prayers I was marched off to the station
For me they'd take no bail though to get home I was itchin'
And I had to tell the tale how I came in to the kitchen

I said she did invite me, but she gave a flat denial
For assault she did indite me and I was sent for trial
She swore I'd robbed her house in spite of all her screechin'
And I got six months hard for me courtin' in the kitchen



I want to be invited to a hooley in the kitchen ...

Stayed tuned, for another episode of ....

No no no!! Don't stop!! I love it! I am not very active on the computer during the weekend since at home I have dial up and and work I have the good stuff. I just have very little patience for this crap at home. Therefore, I check all of the threads I'm active on and that's about it. But I really do hope you are able to keep up the Irish floklore, songs cuisine and anything else. I definately check that out everyday!

 

[bockbock2008]
