The Old Turf Fire

Oh the yote of fire and the house swept clean
There is no one half as happy as myself and Paddy Keane
With the baby in the cradle you can hear her mammy say
Wouldn't you go to sleep banana till I wet your daddy's day?
Oh the man that I work for is a richer man than me
But somehow in this world face we never can agree
He has big towering mansions and castles overall
But I'm sure I wouldn't exchange with him my little marble hall
I have got a little house and a tidy bit of land
You would never see a better on the side of Knockmacgrane
I've no piano in the corner and no pictures on the wall
But I'm somehow quite contented in my little marble hall
Oh the yote of fire and the house swept clean
There is no one half as happy as myself and Paddy Keane
With the baby in the cradle you can hear her mammy say
Wouldn't you go to sleep banana till I wet your daddy's day?
