Coortin In The Kitchen
COORTIN' IN THE KITCHEN
Come single belle and beau to me now pay attention
And love I'll plainly show is the divil's own invention
For once I fell in love with a damsel most bewitchin'
Miss Henrietta Bell down in Captain Kelly's kitchen
Cho:
To my toora loora la my toora loora laddy
Ri toora loora la ri toora loora laddy
At the age of seventeen I was 'prenticed to a grocer
Not far from Stephen's Green where Miss Bell for tea would go sir
Her manners were so free she set me heart a twitchin'
She invited me to tea down in Captain Kelly's kitchen
Next Sunday bein' the day we were to have the flare up
I dressed myself quite gay an' I frizzed and oiled my hair up
The Captain had no wife he had gone out a fishin'
So we kicked up high life below stairs in the kitchen
Just as the clock struck six we sat down to the table
She served me tea and cakes I ate while I was able
I ate cakes drank punch and tea till my side had got a stitch in
And the hours flew quick away while coortin' in the kitchen
With my arms around her waist I kissed she hinted marriage
To the door in dreadful haste came Captain Kelly's carriage
Her looks told me full well that moment she was wishin'
That I'd get out to Hell or somewhere far from the kitchen
She flew up off my knees full seven feet or higher
And over heads and heels threw me slap into the fire
My new Repealers coat that I'd bought from Mrs 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 into the kitchen
When the Captain came downstairs and seen my situation
In spite of all my prayers I was marched off to the station
For me they'd take no bail tho' to get home I was itchin'
And I had to tell the tale of how I got in the kitchen
I said she did invite me but she gave a flat denial
For assault she did indict me and I was sent for trial
She swore I robbed the house in spite of all her screechin'
And I got six months hard for my coortin' in the kitchen
